Africa China's new look + explains what has kept him out of music

Reporters ran into one-time most sought after/most talked about music artiste in Nigeria, Africa China, this week and asked him what has kept him out of the music scene for so long. The music star who is currently working on a collabo with Flavour and 2face Idibia said he left music temporarily to raise his children, but is fully back now
"I've been working but after becoming a father, I told myself I needed to concentrate fully and see what fatherhood is all about. I do not want to have a scattered home. You know its not easy. I know I may not be able to manage stardom and family so I had to quit one for another. No that I left music but just I just wanted to relax and face my family. I left music for them but now that my kids are grown up, I think I can hit the streets. I'm good to go." He says. Continue...


Talking about his new slimmed down look and darker complexion, African China jokingly blamed it on fatherhood.
"(Laughs) fatherhood join. E reach make person thin o. They say that one thing that remains constant is change but one has to change for the better and not for worse. Leaving the scene for long and now planning to come back, its good that I'm coming back with a new look because if you come back and you don't look good, that means you have been suffering all this while.
