Nigerian singer Ekenedirichukwu Ijemba, popularly known as Humble Smith, recently shared a personal revelation about his journey in the music industry.
In 2015, the 32-year-old artist was on the verge of resorting to begging for survival before a divine intervention changed his path.

Humble Smith opened up about his struggles to gain recognition despite his efforts in producing various musical projects, including shooting a music video in London.
He emphasized that ‘Osinachi’ reflected his true-life experiences, and every lyric connected to his personal story.
He also shared the story behind collaborating with Phyno and Davido on the song, explaining that his team believed featuring established artists would propel the track to success.
After reaching out to Phyno, the song gained popularity, leading to Davido’s involvement in the remix.
Humble Smith expressed gratitude to Davido for his support in elevating the song’s reach.
