I intend to quit music in 2020 – Mr Eazi

Hip-hop act, Mr Eazi, says he intends to quit music in 2020.

The artiste made this known while fielding questions on HipTV show, Street Hop.

The soft-spoken artiste says he considers his singing career as short term and hopes to be like American Hip Hop Icon, Jay Z, in the near future.

“Sincerely, I don’t plan on doing music for more than three years further, In my mind I feel like I want to do something more like a Jay Z, the music is giving me a lot of capital which can be reinvested, the music is giving me a lot of influence, so if in the next three years, I’m able to get the numbers, you could use that to do anything else in life, so I could even become a speaker,” he said.

When asked what he would be doing if the music fails to pay his bills, the Afrobeat singer who recently moved to Nigeria having lived in Ghana since 2007, said, “ I am a serial entrepreneur, so I will move on to the next thing depending on what I am passionate about at the time
