Oluwafemi Oladapo Oko-Eko, popularly known as Slimcase shot to limelight after a decade of pursuing his passion for music.
The’Azaman’ sensation who many misjudge as an alcohol drug addict as a result of his kind of music, has declared that his parents once discouraged him to stop wasting his time on music.
In his words:”At a point, my parents and siblings put pressure on me to get another job and stop wasting my time doing music. I thank God I never listened to them because I am now the breadwinner of my family”, he told Punch.
Slimcase whose fan base has grown partly as a result of his genre of music said alcohol inspires his kind of music.
“Alcohol inspires the kind of music I do; drunken people inspire me a lot even though I have never been drunk.I am a very good actor, so people tend to believe me when I act as if I’m drunk”.
Slimcase didn’t experience any major breakthrough when he initially ventured into music.
“I faced a lot of challenges in my career, especially when it had to do with money. I had a big dream but I had little money.I used to be a factory worker and my salary was N15, 000. I am the first born of my family and out of this little money, I still had to save about N8,000 for my studio sessions, I had to trek a lot to achieve this”
