In a radio chat with Toolz on Beatfm yesterday, Wale said the reason he's never been to Nigeria until now wasvbecause his parents, who are both fromvOndo state, were so poor they couldn't afford a bring him home.
"I grew up poor. We lived in DC, in thevprojects. Getting a ticket to Nigeria on $v20, 000 income yearly, to my family thatvwasn't really... you know...like I was a 15 year old with a decent job, I'm not going to save up to go to Nigeria. That wasn't what I was thinking when I was that age.
And then I was in college and the money tight right then. And then I get this record deal when I dropped out of school, you're running around so much you don't even have time to see your own parents"
