Segun Arinze Hints at Music Comeback, Says He Left Industry by Choice
Veteran Nollywood actor Segun Arinze has shed light on his decision to step away from the music industry and hinted at a possible return. Speaking during a recent episode of Curiosity Made Me Ask, hosted by content creator Bae U Barbie, Arinze clarified that his departure from music was a personal choice and not due to failure.
“I didn’t fail as a musical artist. I left music on my own volition. If I wanted to do music, I would have continued,” the actor explained. Arinze, who studied Theatre Arts at Obafemi Awolowo University, noted that his transition to acting was a deliberate decision to focus on his passion for the craft.
Reflecting on his earlier foray into music, Arinze revealed that he released two albums before putting his music career on hold. Despite his focus on acting, he affirmed that his passion for music has never waned.
“I can always go back to music. I didn’t fail. I’ve two albums. I suspended it [my music career]. When I feel it’s time, I will go back. I still sing. The voice is still there,” he said.
Arinze hinted at a potential return to music but emphasized that it would be driven by passion rather than commercial motives. “I will be going back to music, but I won’t be coming into it for commercial reasons. I will return to music just because I want to sing, not because I want to make money,” he added.
With this announcement, fans of the actor may look forward to seeing him revisit his musical roots in the future, purely for the love of the art form.
