After the release of the monster hit ‘Caro’ with Wizkid, L.A.X (Damilola Afolabi) became a huge star. And he was only 18.
He tells me the story of how he got that big break, how Wizkid changed his life… and why everything slowed down because his parents insisted he finish school and does his NYSC.
Whatever that may have done to his momentum, he says he has no regrets. Returning to Nigeria, growing up with his grandmother taught him wisdom.
We talk about:
● Why he left Wizkid, and why his leaving made Wizkid worried
● Why he continues to call Wizkid his Big Brother and why he thinks Wizkid has been on the attack in the past one year
● Why people think his energy and his career have slowed down, even though he is cleaning out concerts across Europe
● The heartbreaking story of how he found out his ex-girlfriend was cheating on him - and why he still begged her to stay
● How he paid her back for the cruelty he suffered - and what he learnt from that entire experience
● Why he sued the anonymous lady who accused him of sexual abuse and then recanted
● Why he takes life easy, no matter what other people are doing in the industry or on social media
L.A.X. says he is a huge fan of the show and that’s a big compliment, because he is without any doubt from one of the coolest guests I have ever interviewed on this show.
