Nigerian gospel singer Frank Edwards has recalled his journey to success, revealing that he recorded one of his biggest songs while living as a squatter.

While speaking during a ministration, Edwards disclosed that his mother gave him ₦150,000 to set up a small studio in 2011, adding that used the money to build a modest recording space in a corner of the room where he was squatting with someone else.

“I recorded ‘Mma Mma’ under a blanket because we lived close to the roadside. I had only two pairs of jeans and ate once a day, but God still lifted me…I just flipped the paper, saw where they wrote ₦4 million and signed it. No need to read it. Make I chop first,” he stated.
