In recent development, popular rapper and actor Tobechukwu Ejiofor, aka Illbliss, has explained that he took a sabbatical from music to diversify.
He further explained that one of the major factors that made him took this move was him turning into a father.
Illbliss, who had recently featured as a guest in a recent episode of Hip TV programme, Trending, hosted by reality star KimOprah, had said that he has been trying to diversify from music alone and is looking into other branches of creativity like acting. It’s important to note and recall that he had an active role in the blockbuster movie, “King of Boys” where he played the dubious character of ‘Odogwu Malay’.
In his own words, Illbliss said: “My two kids came miraculously. My first child was born eight years after I married my wife while my second daughter born during the COVID-19 lockdown. So I took time off to be a dad; to spend time with my family and raise my kids.”
“Also, I was trying to find diversification. So I moved into television as well. I had done ‘King Of Boys’ a year before then and I just felt like I needed to produce more; shoot more films, documentaries and get into spaces where I could still express myself artistically without just putting out music. So, I took a break from music. All of these is what has been happening in the last four years.”
