Ghanaian comic rapper AY Poyoo has revealed that he was discouraged by many including his friends when he decided to pursue a career in music.
According to him, some of his friends had predicated that his style of music will only last for a month.
Nonetheless, the artist said he kept pushing because he knew something big would happen to him.
“My friends told me I wouldn’t make it and even gave me a month to fade out. Some even told me I should stop fooling because music is for serious people. I told them I would prove them wrong because whatever I was doing for Ghanaians had been planned”, he said on the Delay show.
Four months after he launched his career, the comic rapper has received endorsements from global stars including Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, Michael Blackson and a few others.
“It’s been four months now since I started music and the success I have chalked is just amazing. To have the likes of American rappers 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg and international comedian Michael Blackson talk about me goes to testify that I have been accepted,” he added.
“So far I have released songs like Poison, Bae, Swimming Pool, Campaign Promise, Goat and Alcoholics and all the songs have been accepted. You need to believe in yourself and the sky is your limit,” he said.
AY Poyoo also revealed that his mother had wanted him to become a doctor but he declined because he was ugly.
