TI Blaze, the fast-rising Nigerian singer, has recalled his struggles before meeting Olamide, the rapper, who he said helped his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The musician, in the latest edition of \u2018Echo Room\u2019, a podcast<\/a> anchored by Quincy Jones, narrated how he slept in a hotel kitchen for nine months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TI Blaze, born Akintunde Timileyin, said he left his parents\u2019 house to look for new opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was on the street for like one year without seeing my parents. I went away from home. I was just on street just roughing things. I was sleeping at one hotel kitchen for like eight months or nine months before I got to meet Badoo (Olamide),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI feel like I already got to a stage where I don\u2019t need to ask my parents for anything anymore. So I just left home. They didn\u2019t even want me to leave at that time. I left in 2020, so I was 20 that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
