Talented Nigerian artiste Oluwatosin Oluwole Ajibade popularly known in music circles as Mr Ezi has revealed how he got a sign to quit music and venture into business.
The ‘LegOver’ crooner who opened up in a recent interview with media personality Angela Lee said that he had considered giving up on music after his Coachella performance.
Mr Eazi who runs a company called Zagadat Capital said that after his Coachella performance, he felt nothing -’no happiness of sadness’ using his words.
He said; “I have a tech company called Zagadat Capital. And this was like me being bored of music. After performing at Coachella in 2019. I played on the first day of Coachella, I came down from the stage and I felt nothing. No happiness. No sadness.

“For somebody who never wanted to be an artiste, and in the third year of my career, I’m playing Coachella and I felt nothing. So, for me, it was a sign I would either have to quit music and go do something else.
“Because that was not a good feeling to have or I needed to pause. Maybe I was experiencing burnout. And when COVID hit, it was the first time I paused and tried to decide what would be the next move. I had started Empawa so I was getting to understand the music business.
“But I was tired of even listening to music. How can you run a music business without listening to music? So, I just had my team handle that.
“I have always wanted to be an entrepreneur and now music has given me access to people and capital, so I was like, okay, I’m gonna start my fund like Jay-Z.”
