Music producer Samklef has celebrated the 13th anniversary of Wzkid’s debut album ”Superstar,”

He took to his social media page to celebrate the anniversary.

According to him, he used to be homeless and slept on the ground while working as a struggling producer.

He recounted how he was humiliated by a music director because he wasn’t able to pay an amount of N5,000 after shooting a music video with him.

“I was homeless, sleeping on the floor in Oregun, at Mudina studio when I produced vector kilode….when I first created “Tease Me.” One night, after a video shoot for “Noni,” where I was humiliated by a director because I couldn’t pay him the remaining N5,000, The director stopped shooting, and my friends laughed and mocked me.

I begged Rodney to let me stay with him. That night, I left Oregun and moved in with Rodney and his wonderful family. His parents were kind to me.

As I started making a little money, I wanted to find my own place, but instead of getting a house, I rented a friend’s studio in Imole, opposite Big Treat, for 100,000 naira monthly. Nobody knew I was sleeping there; I kept it to myself. That’s where I produced “Don’t Dull.”

After a few months, I got another office space in Ogba, where I produced the remaining four tracks for the “Superstar” album. I started with nothing, and now I’m here.

Happy 13th anniversary to Wizkid’s “Superstar” album!

Samklef Noni!
