Segun Arinze, a Nollywood actor, has revealed why he left the music industry.
Featuring in a recent episode of ‘Curiosity Made Me Ask’ hosted by content creator Bae U Barbie, Arinze stated that he didn’t leave music because he failed at it but to focus on acting.
“I didn’t fail as a musical artist. I left music on my own volition. If I wanted to do music, I would have continued.
“I read theatre art at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ife. I left school, I did well. I went into my music on my own volition. When I decided to concentrate on my acting career, I concentrated on my acting,” he explained.
Arinze announced that he will make a comeback in the music industry in the future.
He did, however, clarify that his comeback to music would be motivated by passion rather than commercial considerations.
“I can always go back to music. I didn’t fail. I’ve two albums. I suspended it [my music career]. When I feel it’s time, I will go back. I still sing. The voice is still there.
“I will be going back to music but I won’t be coming into it for commercial reasons. I will return to music just because I want to sing, not because I want to make money,” he added.
