Nigerian singer and businessman Mr Eazi has opened up about a painful early business mistake that strained his relationship with a family member.
He revealed that he once borrowed £40,000 from his uncle to fund a venture that later failed. What started with high hopes quickly turned into pressure when the deal collapsed and repayment became a problem.
The situation grew more tense after his uncle involved his parents. Mr Eazi said this made things worse and left him feeling deeply embarrassed, especially when his father had to step in and settle the debt.
He admitted that the experience pushed him to confront the situation directly, expressing frustration over how it was handled. The fallout, he said, changed how he views both money and trust.
Looking back, the singer now sees the setback as a major turning point. It shaped his approach to business decisions and accountability, and helped build the mindset that guides his success today.
Rather than dwell on the past, he has chosen to use the experience as a lesson that continues to influence his journey.
