Nigerian Reggae dancehall star artiste Patoranking has revealed that the fear of poverty he experienced in his past makes him work harder.
Patoranking made the revelation while in an interview on HipTV with Nancy Isime.
“Knowing where I’m coming from is important. I don’t want to go back there. When I say that I don’t mean the hood. I mean I don’t want to go back to suffering, poverty, times when I could only eat once a day or go two, days without eating.
I don’t want that life anymore. Me trying to run away from that life makes me work harder. The higher you go; the more difficult it becomes. Once you’re able to understand that, you won’t have any problem. You just keep working.
I got to understand that those times are a part of the plan. Failure is part of success. I’ve been able to understand that these things would come. Am I ready when they do? Yes.” He said in the interview.
