Nigerian singer, Ekenedirichukwu Ijemba, better known as Humble Smith, has revealed that he almost became a beggar in 2015 before he received a divine intervention.
The 32-year-old claimed he initially went to a church in Lagos to ask for assistance but subsequently changed his mind after finding inspiration for his popular song “Osinachi” there. Humble Smith shared this information on a recent Trending segment on Hip TV, alongside reality star Kimoprah.
Despite working on many musical projects, including filming a music video in London, he claimed he found it difficult to gain attention.
He said,
“Osinachi’, every lyric in that song is just me [my story]. This is a true life story. I have something to connect to everybody.
“I wrote ‘Osinachi’ in the church. I went to church to beg for money to feed. But when I got to the church, something told me I’m not a beggar. So, God blessed me with the song in the church.”
On how he got Phyno on the song and Davido on the remix, Humble Smith said, “After recording the song, they [my team] were like, ‘Guy you never blow, you need to put person [superstar] for the song to blow.’
“So, we had to reach out to Phyno for that. Then after reaching out to Phyno, the song started making waves, and Davido called for the remix. Big thanks to him.”
