During a recent interview with H. Steph, the beloved Artist, originally from Port Harcourt, shared a revealing account of his upbringing.
He candidly expressed, “I was brought up amidst a Community of individuals involved in criminal activities. It’s quite unbelievable. I spent my childhood in Marine Base, a place in Port Harcourt that was largely avoided by people during my upbringing.”
He continued, “I was surrounded by criminals, thugs, and various illicit activities. Growing up, I witnessed the presence of pipeline vandals, illegal businesses, and the like.
Consequently, I encountered numerous challenges and obstacles along the way. However, I firmly believe that these experiences played a significant role in shaping the person I am today.”
