Kenyan gospel rapper Eko Dydda opened up and shared life story which was not a walk in the park He started by explaining where he was born and raised in Nairobi. He talked about this in an interview conducted in a local Tv station
I was born and raised in Eastleigh. I also went to Eastleigh primary where I did my primary education. After class eight he joined Eastleigh high school, which is a boys’ school.
Eko Dydda shocked the interviewer when he revealed life as it unfolded in the fourth year of his high school education.
One Boy In Girl’s School
Imagine one boy studying at a girl’s school, huh! It’s so weird. The embarrassment is too much but this is what Eko Dydda had to go through so as to finish high school and at least bag the KCSE certificate which is so important in Kenya.
I schooled in Eastleigh high for 3 years that is form one to form three. In the fourth year I could not continue in that school due to poverty that was in my family, the fee balance was too high such that the school could not contain me anymore.
Eko Dydda explained leaving the interviewer in total awe.
I was forced to transfer to the girl’s school to finish my secondary education. The reason for joining a girl’s school is just because the girls’ high school gave me the advantage to be paying half fees. I complained to my parents but my father told me that I will not do what I feel to do and I had to be the only boy in the school. He said
The discount from the Girl’s school did not make a big difference
Even after being given a discount by the girls’ school administration board it was not easy to raise that money and I had hustle in vibarua- casual jobs to raise some money. I worked as milk seller, credit card supplier and at bet collection shop. He said
Eko Dydda also revealed that he discovered his great talent in music later after trying football. The vidole hitmaker is doing well and has also initiated his two boys in music at a young age.
The two boys were nominated for groove awards 2019- See how life can change.
