British-Nigerian rapper and singer Darkoo has shared her experience of coming out to her parents about her sexuality.
In a recent episode of “The Appointment Show” podcast, hosted by Layo, Darkoo discussed the relief and happiness she felt after opening up to her mom.
Darkoo described the moment she shared her sexuality with her mom as a “massive weight off my shoulder.” She acknowledged that it was a challenging conversation, particularly with her mom, whom she is closer to.
She however emphasized that ultimately, she is living her life authentically.
She said:
“The day I told my mom [about my sexuality], it felt like a massive weight off my shoulder… I’ve been happy since then.
“Opening up to my mom and dad was a great relief. It was hard on my mom more than my dad because I’m closer to her. It was very emotional for my mom.
“My dad was not really interested in the conversation but at the end of the day, I’m living my life. And that’s what I’m doing.”
In another story, Darkoo revealed that she never wanted to be a musician.
In a recent podcast interview, Darkoo disclosed that music was not her initial passion, and she actually had her heart set on becoming a professional footballer.
She explained that her love for football was evident, and many people have witnessed her skills on the pitch. However, a sudden health scare forced her to reconsider her career choice.
“Music was never the plan. I wanted to be a footballer. A lot of people have not seen me on the pitch because I don’t play football anymore. The last time I played football I fainted because it was a lot of exercise,” she said.
