Veteran, hip-hop artiste, Lanre Dabiri,
better known as ELDee the Don, has been silent in the music scene for
long while. Last year, there were speculations that the singer had quit
music.
However, in a chat with Saturday Beats,
he cleared the air that he is not quitting music as he explained that he
was away from the Nigerian entertainment scene to spend some time with
his family.
“I did not quit music; I evolved from
being a complainer to a solution provider. The reason why I was away
from the music scene and travelled out of the country was because I
needed to take some time off so that I could spend some time with my
family. I had not been with my family for years and I felt they deserved
my time. I have young girls and I have to be there for my kids and that
supersedes any kind of passion that I have. That is part of the reasons
I took some time off. I also used the opportunity to work on my new
project, Play data, where artistes can track how frequently their works
are being used. I did not relocate to America, I am back in Nigeria and
my house is still there,” he said.
The singer who announced that he might be done with child bearing, said that he has no regret having only female children.
“I am not paranoid that I have two
lovely female children. I feel that every parent needs to treat their
children with care regardless if they are male or female. If you give
them the right training and support system, they would be okay. So you
would not be afraid of boys chasing your daughters. My daughters are
beautiful and I show them off all the time. They are my pride and joy
and I have absolutely no regrets having girls. I am probably going to
stop at the two girls and maybe never have a son. For me, they are
children, my children and I love them a lot. I am proud of them,” ELDee
said.
