Renowned Nigerian rapper, Newnaija.com.ngentertainments/when-its-comes-to-rap-game-vector-blaqbonez-ycee-dremo-whos-the-goat”>Vector has opened up on his childhood and how it has helped model his artistry.

In a candid interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo, Vector acknowledged his parents for their balanced parenting style.

He reflected on how his upbringing instilled in him a sense of determination and focus, that encourages him to achieve his goals, despite many adversities.

Vector expressed gratitude for his parents’ fair treatment of all their children, even though one of his sisters has sickle cell anemia.

He said:

“My childhood has put me in that ‘whatever the weather, what I want to do is what I do’ mindset. Plus, I was detached and stubborn, like my mum and grandma would say. I was the one that would always ask, ‘Why do the Yoruba people always say the elders are always right?’ and I’d be like, ‘That’s a lie.

“I learnt how to self-reflect. You know, African parents are usually on the default mode of parenting, so they like everyone. I think they did their best not to show who their favourite was because, in my house, my sister is a sickle cell warrior. You’d have thought she got the most care because she’s a warrior, and to show you how dope the care is, she has 2 children now. They had no favorites, and they dealt with us as we were.

“At a point in the house, they even started calling me Vector the viper because that’s what I identified with. Even my brother is a DJ and they’d call him that. So my parents were kind of free but they made you work for what you believed in and what you needed or wanted to do. I felt loved regardless and I think I grew up sheltered, not sheltered in the sense of a silver spoon though.”
