<h2>Nigerian rapper Vector has opened up about his childhood, revealing how his parents supported his desire to become a rapper.</h2>

<p>Speaking during a recent interview with media personality <strong>Chude Jideonwo</strong> on the <strong><em>With Chude </em></strong>show,<a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/music/vector-returns-with-new-album-teslim-the-energy-still-lives-in-me/c56t55l"> the rapper </a>revealed that his childhood shaped his resilient mindset and approach to life.</p>

<p>He explained,<em> "My childhood has put me in that 'whatever the weather, what I want to do is what I do' mindset. Plus, I was detached and stubborn, like my mum and grandma would say. I was the one that would always ask, 'Why do the Yoruba people always say the elders are always right?' and I'd be like, 'That's a lie.'"</em></p>

<p>Vector credited his parents for their balanced approach to parenting, emphasising that they never showed favouritism among their children, even to his sister, who had sickle cell anemia.</p>

<p>He added,<em> "I learnt how to self-reflect. You know, African parents are usually on default mode of parenting, so they liked everyone. I think they did their best not to show who their favourite was because in my house is a sickle cell warrior. You'd have thought she got the most care because she's a warrior, and to show you how dope the care is, she has 2 children now. They had no favourites, and they dealt with us as we were."</em></p>

<p><em>"At a point in the house, they even started calling me Vector the viper because that's what I identified with. Even my brother is a DJ and they'd call him that. So my parents were kind of free but they made you work for what you believed in and what you needed or wanted to do. I felt loved regardless and I think I grew up sheltered, not sheltered in the sense of a silver spoon though," </em>he concluded.</p>
