9ice Confesses His Status With Payne & says He can't be doing music at 35, but Politics

9ice joined the train of musicians who
are delving into politics. When asked by
Sun newspaper why he is quitting music
he said :
Yes, I want to leave music for politics.
Next year January, I will be 35-years-old
and I'm not praying to still be in music
at that age. I am serious about politics
now. If you listen to my music, you
would notice that politics has been part
of me; it's in my blood. When I started
initially, I talked about being your
brother's keeper, and that's why I
studied Law at Lagos State University
before I dropped out to concentrate on
my music career. I hate when things go
wrong. When two or three people are
having issues, I love to get there to
settle their differences. I have passion
for politics and it has always been in my
blood.
On his fans missing him
I will say they will love me more by the
time they see the plans that I have for
them. I have so many plans on my mind.
Imagine if the late Fela Anikulapo-Kuti
was a politician, he will not just criticize
the mistakes of our leaders but also
correct them. Imagine if Wole Soyinka
was to be the president of this nation,
people like him are only preaching the
truth and criticising the government but
they are not ready to get into politics to
make corrections. I am tired of
preaching, I want to contribute my own
quota for the sake of my people. We
have graduates riding commercial
motorcycles (okada), selling meat etc,
their certificates are not being used but
they are shouting that the government
is not doing well. There can't be any
change if the youths don't stand-up now
to do something to help the country.
Who is Tony Payne to you?
She's nothing more than we have kid for
each other.
