I didn’t buy my result, I got it through hardwork, commitment and sacrifice - Korede Bello

Following LIB's report that Mavin act, Korede Bello graduated with distinction from the Nigerian Institute of Journalism last week, the singer has reacted to rumours that he paid to get his results and didnt actually study for it.

In an Instagram post this evening, Korede Bello wrote, 'I initially didn’t want to post this for many reasons but I was wrong on all counts. I’d be doing millions of young people and my peers a disservice by not boldly putting it out there that impossiblity is a myth; you can be Talented and Distinguished; Famous and Dignified; Celebrated and Educated ; that you can be a MEGA SUPER STAR with a MEGA SUPER VISION. For this I am grateful to God'.

He added that, 'the main reason I endured to the finish line was because I needed to push myself and also to be a light for a lot of young Nigerians who think you cannot be an established Artiste and still achieve academic excellence. I endured because #MyPeople needed a role model. A few days before I got signed I was still looking for tuition fees, so I understand the experience that some of you go through. But just as HE came through for me , HE’ll come through for you. No, it wasn’t easy but it was worth it. I was graced and I'm grateful.  And no, I didn’t buy my result but I paid for it through hardwork, commitment and sacrifice (time and music). You can too. I believe in you, I believe in us'.
