Nigerian singer Shodade Solomon Segun, widely known as Shoday, has opened up about his cautious approach to fame and the reason he does not have any tattoos. The 26-year-old artist explained that he keeps a backup plan in case his music career does not work out as hoped.
Shoday's Backup Plan
During a recent interview, Shoday disclosed that he studied Building Technology in school and is fully prepared to return to corporate life if necessary. He stated, "I studied Building Technology in school, and I'm here doing music. Look my body, did you see any tattoo? No. It's because I'm skeptical. If music did not work like this, I'm back in office."
The singer emphasized that his pragmatic mindset remains intact even after achieving some success. He noted, "I used to tell people, if God did not want me to go far, I won't get to this point that I'm present. The fact that I'm here and I've done it consistently, not one, not two, not three, not five songs. I'm still here."
Mother's Advice Shapes His Mindset
Shoday attributes his cautious nature to his upbringing, particularly advice from his mother. He recalled that she always reminded him not to rely on a single path. This lesson has guided his approach to life and career. He added, "One thing I've learned so far in life is it will not be sweet. Sometimes it won't go as planned. Just know how to always have plan B. Always know when to quickly flip the script and do something new."
Fan Reactions
The interview sparked reactions from fans. One user, @Jericho_official, commented, "People would jump into conclusion blaming him just because he expressed his opinions. Tattoos is a choice so it's to you, do what's important to yourselves. He's genius, his career is working and he's moving higher!!!!"
Another user, @itzdinchy, wrote, "You guys shouldn't blame him, he comes from the Zlatan kind of family. He is just prudent and well disciplined, doesn't mean he is looking down on people with tattoos."
