Nigerian rapper and singer Superboy Cheque has revealed that he nearly quit music at an early stage of his career due to a severe battle with acne that affected his confidence and public appearances.

Cheque made the disclosure during a recent interview with Yanga FM Lagos, where he recounted how his struggle with skin issues took an emotional toll on him.

“I struggled with acne years back. It was terrible. My desperation to cure it led me to buy a makeup that almost disfigured my face. It was embarrassing. I almost quit music. I couldn’t even approach women then.

“After my breakthrough song ‘Zoom’ and I got signed by a record label, it dawned on me that I would be attending interviews and would be in front of cameras. I am a perfectionist. So, I went to get a makeup from a store to clear but instead it almost disfigured my face. I woke up one morning and realised that my whole face has been damaged,” he recalled.

He added that the ordeal eventually inspired his hit song ‘History’ featuring Fireboy DML.

According to Cheque, overcoming the challenge became part of his journey and growth in the music industry.
