my mum did not compell me to pursue a

 master degree



in this interview done by morakinyo sunday  the slick talking nate oc open up on why he embark on a master degree.
Some artise still go broke inspite of all the big money they make from showbusiness, what do think an artise need to do to prevent this predicament?o  show money is fast money. . An artiste need a business plan, a business structure. The mistake a lot of artistes make is that, they spend so much in putting out the product and then worry about the marketing later ; the  verse should be the case. Music is profitable. Though, it would have been more profitable if bootlegging didn't exist, but we are still making some reasonable profit.
.Q: are you talking like this because, you recently bagged a Masters Degree at the University of Dundee?A: My Masters degree has got nothing to do with my music. I was already successful in music before I went for my masters. Education is good, but even if you didn't go to school you can always learn from other people's experience.I knew  I was going to run my business way before I went for a Masters Degree. My education has definitely  helped further to boost my confidence anyway, but every artiste must start to think smart
.Q: But rumor has it that you
wouldn't have gone through the stress of pursuing a Masters programme, if not for your mum who pressured you to?
A: (laughs) Common, common. In this day and age you don't need anyone to tell you to go to school. I had always plan to be a different rapper. Because most rapper don't have formal education doesn't mean I shouldn't. It's always been my ambition to take my edcuation to the next level. I don't like being a mediocre and I will continue to push higher in whatever I do. My dream had always been to have a Masters
.Q: So, is a Doctorate Degree in the offing?A: It's not a bad idea at all. Everything is in God's hand
.Q: You know, I've always wondered how you managed to scale through  . While focusing on my rigorous academic classes, I was at the same time working on my album and travelling all over. But I owe a lot to my tutors who cooperated with me and
supported me. To God be the Glory, it takes determination
.Q: It was also reported in the media that your mum was outrightly against the idea of you pursuing a career in music, how exactly were you eventually able to convince her?: I didn't have to do anything extra ordinarily hard to convince mum. She simply saw me making progress with music and she became convinced that I could make something huge from it. She is my No1 fan at the moment. Now she is also used to calling me by my stage name. My mum never  had a problem with me pursuing a music career, she just wanted to be sure whether i was really serious about it or it was just an infatuation.
Q: You've helped created a big demand for the Hausa cap among even non Hausa's in the West, East and South with your fashion sense, what's the idea behind your style?: first of all, when I dress, simplicity is my watchword. I don't
like to keep things complicated. I stock a lot of Jeans, t-shirts, sweaters and kaftans. But the keyword is simplicity. Whatever I feel like wearing must be simple and I like to spice up my dressing with such accessories like glasses/shades,arabian scarves and cufflinks. If I need to appear more formal, then I go in bespoke suits. Now, talking about the Hausa cap, it serves two purposes;uniquess and cultural representation. I like to stand out, so whenever people imagine Naeto C or wherever I go they can identify me with the cap. And they will also know that it is a cap from Nigeria. I'm glad I have been able to make it a cool fashion trend in the country. But I just like to be different from every other person in appearance
