“Why I Dropped Out Of LASU In My Final Year” — Singer Oxlade Reveals

Nigerian singer, Ikuforiji Olaitan Abdulrahman, better known as Oxlade, has disclosed why he dropped out of Lagos State University (LASU) in his final year.

Speaking in a recent podcast, Oxlade said dropped out of the University when some gangs where going after him because he’s a fine boy.

He said: “I dropped out of the university in my final year because it was a cr@zy time.

There were some gangs after me because I’m a fine boy. Being a fine boy makes you a target. It’s either you join them or they o** you. So I had to leave that environment.

I went to Lagos State University (LASU). Go and read about the school. Now, they’re more focused on academics. I think they’ve realized how fragile life is and how important it is to pursue your dreams, so they’ve cracked down on that kind of behavior. Now everyone is chasing money, but at that time, it was a hot period.

After I left school, I ran away from home because I couldn’t tell my family why I dropped out. They wouldn’t understand; they would just think I was making excuses. So I couldn’t go back. It felt like I let my family and my grandma down. The crazi€st part was that when my grandma finally saw me, she was so calm about it. All that pressure I put on myself was just in my head”.
