Oxlade speaks on dropping out of university in final year

Oxlade just had his album listening party on Wednesday, September 18, and it was remarkable for him.
The singer called his father to join him onstage and the latter shared how it felt to be present at the memorable event organised by his son.
The Ku Lo Sa crooner also revealed that he dropped out of school due to some reasons beyond his control which he stated.

Singer Ikuforiji Olaitan Abdulrahman, better known as Oxlade, warmed the hearts of his fans as he welcomed his father on stage during his album listening party on Wednesday night, September 18, 2024.

He prostrated before his dad before they hugged on stage. The singer’s dad expressed excitement about attending the event, calling the attendees wonderful people and shared pride in his son.

Oxlade while speaking stated that he dropped out of school because he was targeted by gangs.

According to the singer, he dropped out of Lagos State University in his final year, because leaving the school environment was the best decision for him.

“I dropped out of the university in my final year because it was a crazy time. There were some gangs after me because I’m a fine boy. Being a fine boy makes you a target. It is either you join them or they o** you. So I had to leave that environment.”

“I went to Lagos State University (LASU). Go and read about the school. Now, they’re more focused on academics. I think they’ve realized how fragile life is and how important it is to pursue your dreams, so they’ve cracked down on that kind of behaviour. Now everyone is chasing money, but at that time, it was a hot period.

“After I left school, I ran away from home because I couldn’t tell my family why I dropped out,”
