Klint da Drunk, the ace comedian, has credited music legend 2Baba as the reason he abandoned his own musical aspirations.

Speaking in a recent interview with Naija FM, the comedian recounted his early days as a budding musician while he was a student at the Institute of Management and Technology (IMT) in Enugu.

He revealed that his trajectory took a dramatic turn after encountering a young and phenomenally talented 2Baba — then known as Tuface — who was also a student at the same institution.

He said both were scheduled to perform at a campus event, but his experience as an audience member first changed everything.

“I used to be a musician until 2Face got admitted to my school, IMT. One day, when he got on stage to perform at an event on campus, I left the hall. The organisers pleaded with me to stay back and perform when he is done,” he said.

“I accepted, but after hearing him sing just two lines, I went home. I didn’t know that my style and 2Face’s style were different. If I had known, I would have continued making music. But thank God I didn’t continue. I like where I am.”

Born Afamefuna Igwemba, Klint da Drunk has built a career in the comedy industry on his ability to make people laugh with his hilarious jokes and anecdotes.

He has performed at numerous events across Nigeria and also won several awards for his work.
