Guchi Reveals Past Job at Ice Cream Shop to Support Family
Nigerian singer Guchi, celebrated for her hit track ‘Jennifer’, has opened up about her previous job working in an ice cream shop to provide for her family. Speaking in an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, Guchi recounted the challenges she faced and the unexpected turn of events that led to her breakthrough in the music industry.
“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,” Guchi explained earnestly.
Reflecting on a significant moment that altered her trajectory, Guchi recalled, “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’.”
She continued, “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.”
Guchi’s revelation highlights the determination and resilience she exhibited while balancing work and her passion for music. The pivotal encounter with her boss not only affirmed her talent but also provided the opportunity for her to pursue her dreams in the music industry.
Fans and followers have praised Guchi for her perseverance and shared their support across social media platforms, acknowledging her journey from humble beginnings to becoming a rising star in Nigerian music.
