It’s No Crime To Be Broke – Azadus Says After Pictured Pricing Okada

In a chat with Saturday Beats, Azadus explained the
reason for his hiatus.

He said,
"It is obvious I left Kennis because my contract with
them expired and my career dwindled. When I was
with Kennis Music, all hands were on deck to push
my music out but now that I am on my own,
everything is left to me. But the major reason I was
out of the limelight was because I was attacked by
armed robbers. I was shot in my neigbhourhood at
FESTAC.
I was away from music for over a year
because I was hospitalised. That was what affected
me. I could not move freely because I lost faith in the
security around where I was staying. I hardly went
out because I was afraid of another attack. I went
through a lot of trauma."

Addressing the broke issue, he said:
"If people think I am broke, they should come and
give me money. At least I thank God that I am taking
care of my family. Being broke is not a crime; it is not
an offence. I don't know when being broke became
an offence in the country. I am broke and people that
think they have money should come and give me
money. Even Greece and some other countries were
broke at a time. They went through recession. That is
no news. News is talking about my music; if it is
better than it was or worse. It is not about my
personal life but what connects me and the world;
how people feel my music. People should talk about
my music and not my personal life,"
