Speaking in a recent interview with Da Genius, Illbliss said:
“I was a banker for four years. I worked at four different banks. I was in a very high performance department called oil and gas. So I was dealing with upstream, downstream, and clients from drilling companies, construction companies.
“While in the banking industry, I went through a lot of departments. I went from treasury to risk management, to retail banking to private banking to Human Resources. So I’m not your typical Nigerian artiste. I can be rapping but I want to be able to own things and create magic out of entertainment properties.”
