In a radio chat with Toolz on Beatfm yesterday, Wale said the reason
he's
never been to Nigeria until now was because his parents, who are
both from Ondo state, were so poor they couldn't afford a bring him
home.
"I grew up poor. We lived in DC, in the projects. Getting a ticket to
Nigeria on $20, 000 income yearly, to my family that wasn't really...
you know...like I was a 15 year old with a decent job, I'm not going to
save up to go to Nigeria. That wasn't what I was thinking when I was
that age. And then I was in college and the money tight right then. And
then I get this record deal when I dropped out of school, you're running
around so much you don't even have time to see your own parents"
