The reality TV star, who is now a chef and fitness advocate, shared her failed aspiration while explaining why she is known as ‘Uriel music star’, despite not being a singer.
Taking to her Instagram page, the reality TV star recounted the embarrassing experience that made her quit music completely.
In her words:
“Those asking why my name is Uriel music star is because I wanted to be the next Tiwa savage back then.
When I first moved to Nigeria. I remember the day I gave up music sha. I got invited to perform after hyping myself online. I entered the stage, it was like a dream, my right leg started vibrating.
