African China has not been so active in music for the last few years, but claims to be doing far better than his colleagues because of his wise and timely investments.
Speaking during a recent interview with The Punch,
the veteran raga/dancehall singer disclosed that although his music may
not be trending at the moment, he did save for rainy days which has
kept him afloat.
African China said:
"By
opening a hairdressing salon, what I have done is invest for a rainy
day. If you check properly, you would realise that some of those who
began their careers about the same time I started mine are now broke.
Today, a lot of them cannot feed themselves and their dependants.
"Before
fame beckoned, I used to work as a barber at a salon and I am not
ashamed to say that. Now that I am African China, I know this business
idea would generate income on a daily basis because people always want
to look good. The salon business is not the only business I have. I also
have a boutique in Surulere, Lagos. I have a sound equipment rental
business and I have a record label that is as old as Kennis Music."
When asked about collaborations with new artistes, He said:
"I
don’t have anything against them. I am friends with them and I am also
an elder brother to them. Recently, I contacted Tekno for a
collaboration but he has been busy. There was a time I needed to do a
song with Ice Prince and I tried to reach him. His manager kept playing
hide and seek with me. As a result, I lost interest. When Burna Boy was
the rave, I telephoned his mum who was his manager at that time. They
didn’t revert in spite of the fact that I telephoned them several
times."
Contrary to popular belief, African China looks to be doing pretty well as hinted in the inteview.
