Nigerian artist Guchi, famous for her chart-topping track “Jennifer,” disclosed that she worked at an ice cream parlor to support her family.
During an interview with media figure Chude Jideonwo, she shared how her boss, upon hearing her sing while working, unexpectedly became her “destiny helper.”
“I used to work in an ice cream store. I didn’t want to sit down and say I have a passion for music and wait for Don Jazzy to come and sign me in my house. I had to feed my siblings and my mother,” she explained.
The singer recounted the defining moment that altered her life trajectory.
“This particular day, I was at the back, singing and preparing the ice cream so I could pour it inside the machine then my boss walked in and asked who was singing, and they all screamed Guchi.
“So he said, ‘I like your boldness’ and then put his hand in his pocket. I thought he was about to give me a tip I would use to go home that day but he brought out a card. I felt so disappointed. I didn’t know that was my destiny helper,” she said.
