His father's passing shadowed most of the singer's comments about his career growth and his experiences growing up in Nigeria and the US.

Fresh off his recent visit to Nigeria, where he had an album listening party, the Classic Man, Jidenna, opened up concerning his career growth in a short video documentary titled Becoming.

The clip mirrors the singer's discovery of himself which was highly influenced by places he lived in.

Some of his comments in the narrative suggests that his father's passing has been a key factor in his growth.

According to the singer, the proverb, "You are not your own man until your father dies", became the awakening that transitioned him from boyhood to manhood.

It basically brought out the strength and focus in a man who now seems to be on a mission to conquer the world, music-wise and in every other means.

The singer's visit to Nigeria was nothing short of amazing.

He had a crowd pulling performance in Lagos and a stop in Enugu, where he developed a scholarship programme at the Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT).
