Nigerian rapper and actor Tobechukwu Ejiofor, aka Illbliss, speaks on his accomplishment in the Nigerian entertainment industry.
Unlike most of his peers in the Nigerian music industry, the actor/singer took pride in his versatility.
He claimed to have been a successful banker before deciding to pursue a career in music.
According to Illbliss, he has always wanted to own property rather than just make music for the fun of it.
Speaking in a recent interview with Da Genius, Illbliss said:
“I was a banker for four years. I worked at four different banks. I was in a very high performance department called oil and gas. So I was dealing with upstream, downstream, and clients from drilling companies, construction companies.
“While in the banking industry, I went through a lot of departments. I went from treasury to risk management, to retail banking to private banking to Human Resources. So I’m not your typical Nigerian artiste. I can be rapping but I want to be able to own things and create magic out of entertainment properties.”
