Actor Segun Arinze, a graduate of Theatre Arts from Obafemi Awolowo University, has clarified his decision to step away from music, stating it wasn’t due to failure but a deliberate choice to focus on acting.
Speaking on a recent episode of Curiosity Made Me Ask, hosted by content creator Bae U Barbie, Arinze said, “I didn’t fail as a musical artist. I left music on my own volition. If I wanted to do music, I would have continued.”
He emphasized that his transition to acting was intentional, aligning with his career goals. “I left school, I did well. I went into my music on my own volition. When I decided to concentrate on my acting career, I concentrated on my acting,” he explained.
Arinze revealed plans to return to music in the future, not for commercial success but purely out of passion.
“I can always go back to music. I didn’t fail. I’ve two albums. I suspended it [my music career]. When I feel it’s time, I will go back. I still sing. The voice is still there,” he noted.
He added, “I will be going back to music but I won’t be coming into it for commercial reasons. I will return to music just because I want to sing, not because I want to make money.”
