Nigerian hip-hop artist and actor, Remilekun Abdulkalid Safaru, famously known as Reminisce, has candidly shared the reasons behind his temporary hiatus from the music scene.

In the latest episode of the Zero Conditions podcast, the artist behind hits like ‘Local Rappers’ explained that he took a break from music to prioritize his family.

Reminisce, who recently marked his comeback with the highly anticipated album, “ATSG, Vol. 1,” after a seven-year break, revealed that his dedication to his craft had consumed most of his time, causing him to overlook changes in his home life and even miss quality time with his children, despite living under the same roof.

He reflected, “There were times I don’t see my kids for 4 days, and we live together. When I get back, they’re in school… One of the reasons I actually did take a step back.

Let me tell you this story. Some years back, my wife changed the entire set up of our house.

It was around that period where I was dropping albums every year and touring. My house painting was changed for almost two years, and I didn’t notice.

That was when I realized that I need to take a step back and be with my family. Family over everything.”
