Tobechukwu Victor Okoh, known professionally as Peruzzi has shared with media personality Chude Jideonwo in an exclusive interview how his mom’s death inspired his first single ‘For Your Pocket.’
The Davido Music Worldwide (DMW) signee who recently secured the top spot on Apple Music albums on the same day he dropped his latest project, Rum, and Boogie, said he lost his mother to cancer when he was very young and it was very devastating as he’s the only son of his late mother.
He said although he was devastated with her death, he momentarily found solace in the song ‘For Your Pocket’ which he dropped just two days after her death.
He’s quoted as saying;
‘My mum was my best friend, I’m the only son, last born, I lost my mum to cancer. It was a busy period for me when it happened, I just dropped ‘For your pocket’ (and) 2 days after my mum dies.
It was like me taking the time to cry in my house, tying to hide from my guys because we were already tweeting ‘For your pocket is out now’. I didn’t want them to stop tweeting so after some time I tried very well to tell them ‘allow, me when it’s time to cry I’ll cry very well but please let’s not stop sharing the song let’s continue’.
I had my time, I used to cry when I was taking my bath. I used to tell myself till tomorrow morning I am going to cry. Whenever I had the time to take a shower I’ll know that’s my time to cry, and as I’m crying the water is washing everything away.
Then I’ll come outside again like it was nothing and back to work. So it was in between that period, that was when Davido posted my song on his Snapchat. I didn’t know him before.’
