In a radio chat with Toolz on Beatfm yesterday, Wale said
the reason he's never been to Nigeria until now was
because his parents, who are both from Ondo state, were
so poor they couldn't afford a bring him home.
"I grew up poor. We lived in DC, in the projects.
Getting a ticket to Nigeria on $20, 000 income yearly,
to my family that wasn't really... you know...like I
was a 15 year old with a decent job, I'm not going to
save up to go to Nigeria. That wasn't what I was
thinking when I was that age. And then I was in
college and the money tight right then. And then I get
this record deal when I dropped out of school, you're
running around so much you don't even have time to
see your own parents"
