Nigerian music star and entrepreneur Mr Eazi has opened up about the personal values and life principles that have guided him to success, delivering an unexpected dose of inspiration during a casual street interview that’s now going viral online.
The award-winning “Leg Over” crooner was approached on the street by an interviewer who admired his well-put-together look.
“Sorry, you guys look very well put together. Do you mind if I ask what profession you work in?” the passerby asked.
With a calm smile, Mr Eazi simply replied: “Oh, I make music.”
The seemingly ordinary encounter quickly turned into an inspirational moment when the singer was asked to share his keys to success. Without missing a beat, he began:
“Marry a good wife.”
He went on to stress the importance of discipline, patience, and the fear of God. He added that these qualities especially for young people under 25 should serve as essential pillars for building a successful life.
Reflecting on his own career journey, Mr Eazi spoke about overcoming “unbelief” and how he used moments of being second-guessed as motivation to push harder. He said:
“When you’re being second-guessed, you could turn it into something that drives you.”
When asked whether Nigerians have a different mindset compared to people born in the West, the singer who was born and raised in Nigeria, proudly described the “go-getter” spirit embedded in the culture.
“Even in the way we walk — audacity,” he noted, highlighting the self-belief and boldness that many Nigerians naturally possess.
From chart-topping music to his thriving business ventures, Mr Eazi’s philosophy combines personal discipline, faith, and the right life partner. It’s a formula he believes can inspire the next generation to chase greatness.
