Music producer Samklef reminisced on his evolution over the years as he celebrated the 13th anniversary of Wzkid’s debut album “Superstar,”
As he worked as a struggling producer, Samklef utilised his X profile on Wednesday to reflect and tell stories of his past homelessness and sleeping on the floor.
He related how, after collaborating with a music director on a music video, he was humiliated by the director because he could not pay N5,000.

He tweeted,
“I was homeless, sleeping on the floor in Oregun, at Mudina studio when I produced vector kilode….when I first created “Tease Me.” One night, after a video shoot for “Noni,” where I was humiliated by a director because I couldn’t pay him the remaining N5,000, The director stopped shooting, and my friends laughed and mocked me.
I begged Rodney to let me stay with him. That night, I left Oregun and moved in with Rodney and his wonderful family. His parents were kind to me.
As I started making a little money, I wanted to find my own place, but instead of getting a house, I rented a friend’s studio in Imole, opposite Big Treat, for 100,000 naira monthly. Nobody knew I was sleeping there; I kept it to myself. That’s where I produced “Don’t Dull.”
After a few months, I got another office space in Ogba, where I produced the remaining four tracks for the “Superstar” album. I started with nothing, and now I’m here.
Happy 13th anniversary to Wizkid’s “Superstar” album!
Samklef Noni!”
