Nigerian rapper, Nicholas Ihua-Maduenyi, professionally known as Psycho YP, has disclosed that he had initially started his career in football when he joined Arsenal Football Academy but later opted for music.
The UK-bred singer disclosed this while featuring on Citizen TV Kenya’s programme, 10 over 10, in Nairobi recently, saying the experience at the academy was awesome and that Arsenal remains his team.
Psycho YP said, “I attended Arsenal Football Academy but I stopped playing football when I started music. I had to pick one.
“Arsenal is still my team. My experience at the academy was all good. But after that, when I started music, I just fell in love with it.”
Asked why he chose to do rap music in an afrobeat-dominated industry, the Abuja-based artist said, “I just love hip-hop. I love rap. I grow up listening to rap.”
