The gospel singer revealed his mum who gave him N150,000 to start his studio, went as far as seizing his international passport with hope of stopping him from travelling out of the country to seal the deal behind her back.
“The very first time in my life years ago I was to close $320,000 deal from a group that wanted to almost own my entire catalogue. You said NO ! And I quote you. “ The 150,000 naira I gave you to start that studio is bigger than that money, just give it time . They are not of God”
Infact you took my international passport away from me Just to ensure I don’t travel to close that deal , and I was laughing because I didn’t need to travel to close it but then I listened to you. After u said that I was thinking How is 150,000 Naira bigger than $320,000,” he wrote.
Edwards suggested he was happy she stopped him from closing the deal as he celebrated her on Mother’s Day.
