My Parents Made Sure All Of Their Kids Worked For Whatever They Believed In – Vector

Popular rapper, Vector has come out to say that his parents supported his desire to become a rapper.

He recently had his say during an interview on Pulse Fun Facts, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he was lucky to have parents who allowed him to do with whatever he identified with, but they made sure all of their kids worked for what they believed in.

Vector added that he definitely felt loved and sheltered growing up, even if they couldn’t provide for all of his needs.

His words, “My childhood has put me in that ‘whatever the weather, what I want to do is what I do’ mindset. Plus, I was detached and stubborn, like my mum and grandma would say. I was the one that would always ask, ‘Why do the Yoruba people always say the elders are always right?’ and I’d be like, ‘That’s a lie.’

I learnt how to self-reflect. You know, African parents are usually on default mode of parenting, so they liked everyone. I think they did their best not to show who their favourite was because in my house is a sickle cell warrior. You’d have thought she got the most care because she’s a warrior, and to show you how dope the care is, she has 2 children now. They had no favourites, and they dealt with us as we were.

At a point in the house, they even started calling me Vector the viper because that’s what I identified with. Even my brother is a DJ and they’d call him that. So my parents were kind of free but they made you work for what you believed in and what you needed or wanted to do. I felt loved regardless and I think I grew up sheltered, not sheltered in the sense of a silver spoon though.”

WOW.
