Eazi added that he believed Mikel was better suited to football, while he had a future in music.
“They were gonna sign me. So, it was like Mikel Obi and me. I just thought that Mikel Obi is not; he doesn’t have talent as a musician. But I can do that. So I let Mikel go to Chelsea. So with this, with the music too, I had to, like, step back, go make a couple billions and then let other people shine,” he stated.
