He made this known while appearing on the latest episode of The Nancy Isime Show alongside his brother and bandmate, Benjamin Okorie.
Benjamin said, “Unlike my brother, I refused to go to the university and instead went to a music school.”
“He [Kingsley] went to the university, I refused to go to the university. I went to a music school, studied music for two years. Then we now came back together,” Benjamin added.
Kingsley inferred: “After law school, I came back to the house and I told my brother, ‘Yo, in law school while I was going to a civil litigation class, I thought about it cause I was in Kano, I’m away from Lagos and Abuja where I would get gigs, so I think I’m in a cave. I think I’m a caveman.’ And my brother was like, yeah that is the name.”
Benjamin further explained, “I have been playing the drum since I was 2. I failed WEAC, I told my mum that I want to go to the music school and she said okay. The firstborn [Kingsley] is pursuing his law career as being the firstborn, so there was no pressure on me, which was perfect to do what I really love. And that is what we are using to feed the family now.”
