Speaking with Saturday Beats, Nigerian rapper, Ikechukwu has revealed that nothing will make him choose acting over music.
The Igbo-born rapper said:
“I don’t see why I should quit music for acting; I don’t even see why it
should be considered. I see it as an expansion so I do not have to give
one talent up for the other. They are both expressions of the talent
God gave me so I cannot even choose which I love the most between acting
and music but one thing is for sure; I am not quitting either of the
two great talents that I have.‘The Wedding Party’ was not my
first stint with acting. I was actually in the award winning short film
titled, ‘The Wages.’ I also featured in ‘Gidi Up,’ Season 2. I also
featured in ‘Gbomo Gbomo Express’ and that was the project that made
everyone believe I could act before I became a part of the cast of ‘The
Wedding Party.’ I told Mo Abudu that I would love to work with her and
when they were auditioning for ‘The Wedding Party,’ I was called. I
auditioned twice and they invited me to be a part of the cast for the
movie,”
