During the podcast, Wasabi humorously shared, “I had uncles flog me. I had one that travelled to flog me. He travelled 2 hours from Ibadan to Osogbo just to give me a beating.” He further explained the circumstances, stating, “At the time, I had passed biology and chemistry but failed physics. I excelled in the art department, leading to a recommendation for me to pursue Art instead.”
This outcome upset his mother, who felt he wasn’t taking his studies seriously enough. “My mom was upset that I was not taking school seriously, cause she always wanted me to do medicine or something in the Sciences,” he added.

In response, she contacted one of Wasabi’s uncles, who promptly said, “Don’t worry, I’ll be in Oshogbo tomorrow.”
Wasabi vividly recalled the moment his uncle arrived and how the situation quickly escalated.. “I was the one who opened the gate for him, and assisted him to carry his load from his car.”
The situation turned serious when his uncle requested to see his report card. Wasabi recounted his uncle’s words, “You failed physics and you didn’t do well in mathematics, lie down there.”
