Astonishing success stories of some Nigerian celebrities

Most people often have the notion that celebrities never had to struggle for anything and everything was handed to you on a platter of gold.

In some cases, it is true, but most of these celebs were just like us and went through alot before getting to the point they are now.

Below are 3 hard to believe stories of celebrities that started from the bottom to the top:

1. PATORANKING

Recall that at the Headies last year, Patoranking revealed that he was once a bricklayer and he once sold rat poison on the streets before.

The singer who grew up in a slum called Ilaje in Ebute Metta, began his career in 2010 but got into limelight with songs like ‘Girlie O’ in 2014 and he has dropped so many hit tracks after that.

2. P-SQUARE

Back during the hustling days

These guys came into the industry way back in 2005 with "Omoge mi, oga police" . But little did people know that they came from nowhere before they got to where they are today.

Peter once worked as a supermarket attendant and Paul did some electrical repair for pay.

Now, their story is different, the two have their own houses abroad, go on boat cruises and enjoy the fine things that life can offer.

3. TIMAYA

Highly successful now, Dem Mama Records boss,Timaya, was once a plantain seller before hitting stardom.
