By Mutiat Alli

Nigerian rap artist based in Cyprus Iwunor Anslem Chibuzor fondly called Rich Plug revealed a shocking secret that he wanted to become a lawyer before things turned around for his family.

The Anambra State indigene studying Business Administration in Cyprus added that the death of his father spoilt his plans.

“My biggest turning point occurred when I was just 14, I haven’t shared it with many people in my life because it’s something that makes me feel a bit bad.

At that time, I had a big discussion with my father, he had better plans for my future and what I would become in the future. Not too long he died, and he was the only one who could get things done for the family, so I had to change plans of studying law.

Now, I found myself enjoying music, not so bad,” he stated.

Rich Plug recently released a new song ‘Olu’, which he was inspired by his circumstances and what is happening in Nigeria.

He also added that he would love to have a collaboration with Burna Boy Lil Baby, and Wizkid “I plan for a nice music video for my song ‘Olu’, I plan on making it a very creative video, but that is after the remix to the song.

I know my fans are the best, I will give them the best of me, I have greater plans in the future, I will motivate and inspire my fans to do the right thing and at the right time.

“If I was asked to pick three top stars for collaboration, I would pick Wizkid, Lil Baby, and Burna Boy because I find peace, comfort, and fun in their way of singing, they motivate me to do greater things and put in my best,” he stated.

Rich Plug, who has traveled mostly to Asian countries, said that he has learned more from his journey and has imbibed it into his music.

“I have traveled mostly to Asia countries, I have been to China, Indonesia and now in Cyprus.

I’ve learnt so many things, I’ve learnt that life is all about believing in yourself and doing the best you can to enjoy life while still alive.

“I can really say my worst moments in travels are always change of flight times, and I love traveling, I get to meet people I never planned to meet, mostly some who are willing to support my careers,” he stated.

He added that his biggest goal is to have a family and career. Even though, the coronavirus pandemic has delayed his plans.

“My biggest dreams is to be successful, dreams of making my mother proud, dreams of making it big in the music industry, dreams of living a wealthy and prosperous life.

COVID-19 has really shattered many plans, I was supposed to travel and get things done for myself in China but unfortunately, I was not able to do that because of the pandemic but to be honest, it taught me how to manage myself and know the value of things because I did many things I was not able to do before the pandemic,” he stated.

Rich Plug said that if he could, he would rewind the hands of time and do something differently, he would still pick becoming a certified barrister.

“ If it were to be what my plans were and if times could be taken back, I would still love to study law, become a lawyer and join politics, but I don’t feel bad being a musician,” he stated.
