Popular fuji singer, Abass Akande, a.k.a
Obesere says his mother saved his life from going down the
wrong path, due to his constant smoking of Indian hemp.
In an episode of the ongoing Supermom reality show,
which featured him and his mother, Taibat Omobonike Akande, Obesere said his
love for music and peer pressure got him addicted to Indian hemp at a very early
age.
‘I was very young when I started taking Indian hemp but it wasn’t good for
my system because anytime I take it, I would just sleep off for about five to
six hours.
Of course, it became very worrisome for my mother who went everywhere
and did everything in order for me to stop but she never gave up on
me.’
His mother added that she and her husband were worried
about their son’s health and future and had wanted him to be well educated, but
young Abass would not budge:
‘Things were so bad that after taking it, I would
be the one to go and pick him up where he would have slept off. At a point, I
had to consult Islamic clerics to help me pray for him so he wouldn’t bring
shame to the family’.
With tears in her eyes, she also recalled all the Fuji
music star put the family through in his bid to become a musician but said she’s
glad to see what he has become,
‘I’m grateful to God today that he is a
celebrated Nigerian musician, a musician that brings joy to many homes and the
hearts of many.’
Obesere, who was once signed on to Sony Music, has
released over 14 albums and is currently signed under Bayowa Records and
Music.
