I’m Not Some Dadabee Child, I Grew Up Poor - Mzvee

MzVee has cleared the misconception that she has always had it good.

The former Lynx Entertainment artiste explained that most people feel like she grew up in a very rich home because of how far she has come.

This, however, is not the case, as she has had to struggle from a poor background to make it to the top.

According to her, the period of her childhood was as tough as any other normal child in the village can experience.

A life where she had to share a room with both her parents and five other siblings.

In fact, things were so tough that their only means of survival was proceeds from her mother’s little pot of rice.

“I don’t know why people think I’m some dadabee child from some really rich home, eating with Queen Elizabeth and travelling all over the world. People do not know that life started really poor for my family. Six of us, including my parents sleeping in one room for six years of my life and God, worked for us until this point. At a point, we were able to get a bunk bed for my siblings and I. two people on each and my parents slept on the floor.

“My mom didn’t have an education she came from the village. My dad grew up in the village as well but he had education. There were times where there was no food, they will leave the only food for me because I was the last born,” she narrated.

MzVee admitted that she was bitter at some point, but she never gave up because she knew there was much to achieve ahead.

“My mom used to sell a pot of rice where we were squatting and because she is a really good cook, people patronized her food very well. Her business grew and God being so good she was able to establish two chop bars and a restaurant."

"My dad also had an opportunity to travel and started bringing home spare parts to Ghana. He ended up having 21 spare parts shops in Abossey Okai. The progress took time but it was consistent,” she concluded.
