The singer in an interview published by Punch on Saturday, June 22, 2019, spoke on how he rose to become music star.
Slimcase said he used to work in a factory and also had to trek sometimes to work to save some money for studio sessions.
He said, “I faced a lot of challenges in my career, especially when it had to do with money. I had a big dream but I had little money.

“I used to be a factory worker and my salary was N15, 000. I am the first born of my family and out of this little money, I still had to save about N8,000 for my studio sessions, I had to trek a lot to achieve this.
“At a point, my parents and siblings put pressure on me to get another job and stop wasting my time doing music. I thank God I never listened to them because I am now the breadwinner of my family.”
Slimcase also spoke about the inspiration behind his kind of music.
He said, “Alcohol inspires the kind of music I do; drunken people inspire me a lot even though I have never been drunk.
“I am a very good actor, so people tend to believe me when I act as if I’m drunk.”
