Actor and singer Ray Emodi has clarified that he did not quit acting due to traumatic experiences or family pressure, contrary to earlier reports.
In an interview on TVC, Emodi explained that he decided to focus more on music, which he considers his true calling.
“You said that I cited traumatic experiences and family pressures. But that’s not the reason I quit acting.”
“I never quit acting. I stopped acting to focus on what my calling is, which is music. You get me?“.
“When I started acting, I already made music for about 10 years.
“I started writing music in my primary school years. This is a fact. I went to international Nursery and primary school, Enugu. I went to LA for school, and every single place I went, I was recording music”, he said.
“I came back to Nigeria in 2015, I went to LA to learn how to act, but that was a trick, actually. I probably shouldn’t say this on air. I had to get a visa to get into America to try to get a record deal.
