Female dancehall artiste and composer MzVee says her mum will “kill” her if she drops out of school.
MzVee had earlier last week announced that she is
abandoning schooling at the Ghana Telecom University College in Accra and
enrolling in an online course to complete her education.
She said her reasons for taking that decision is
that lecturers mark her down as they assume she does not have enough time for
her education because of her career.
In an exclusive interview with TV3’s Adwoa Amorfa, the ‘Natural Girl’ hitmaker said she decided to
switch schools to lessen her workload and stated that her mother will kill her
if she does not finish her education.
“I’m not dropping out of school but I only want
to lessen my work load as going to school and doing the music is really
difficult.
“I’m still going to finish and get my degree so I
am doing this online course so I can have time to do my studio work and also
work whiles I travel and most importantly don’t get marked down for not
attending lectures.”
She advised the youth to take education seriously
to enable them find better opportunities in the future.
“Education is very important as I am here forcing
people to go to school by doing a whole scholarship thing for them to go to school.
“I say it’s important because I am the kind of
person who would like to manage my own business in future so I need general
knowledge about business.
“It’s very easy to throw school away and just do
music but I want that extra thing added to me so I am just going to finish
school.
“There is no way I would have worked with the
World Bank and gone to give speeches and stuff like that if I hadn’t gone to
school.
“My mum will kill me by the way if I don’t finish school and I don’t want to disappoint her because she has really supported me
right from the start so I need to do this for myself and for her.”
