Goodgirl LA Reveals Father Disowned Her for Rejecting Education
Nigerian musician Euphemia Ekumah, better known by her stage as GoodGirl LA, has opened up about her challenging relationship with her father.
She reportedly stated that rather than pursuing her schooling, she chose to pursue her love of music.
The “Bless Me” singer stated in an interview with Hip TV that her greatest life regret is not having pursued her musical profession sooner rather than attending school.
She expressed her regret for writing JAMB and for letting her father pressure her into going to school when she was more interested in music.
GoodGirl LA clarified that when she declined to pursue her education, her father’s response was severe.
Because she disobeyed him, he expelled her from the house and even disowned her.
The singer claimed that although she was just 16 at the time and unsure of her future plans, by the time she was 17 or 18, she had made up her mind to pursue music full-time.
After releasing songs that attracted widespread notice, she finally discovered her calling in the entertainment sector.
After witnessing her development and acknowledging her as one of Nigeria’s up-and-coming musical talents, her family eventually came to terms with her choice and made amends.
“I have never regretted not finishing school,” she stated. I regret ever attending school. I regret not leaving home sooner. My only regret is that. I regret writing JAMB. When my parents had me write JAMB, I wished I had fled.
“My dad asked me to leave his house after I told him that I no longer wanted to attend school. It was insane. My father even disowned me at one point. After that, I moved out.
