I Once Worked As A Delivery Guy In America – Rapper E.L Reveals
2016 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA) Artiste of the Year, Elom Adablah, known by his stage name as EL has revealed how he once hustled in the USA to make ends meet.
In a recent interview on 3Music TV, EL said there was a point he had to work as a food delivery guy in the US just to keep body and soul together while he was still considered a mainstream artiste in Ghana.
In his words, that experience taught him how to be humble.
Time teaches you so many valuable lessons and it changes you, especially when you go through a few things. I’ve passed through before. There was a point in time in the States I had to start doing food delivery.
Yeah, it was that deep. I delivered food door to door just to keep myself going,” he disclosed in the interview. I’ve actually passed through things and that stuff teaches you things like humility. So anytime I see an artist and they come to me for advice the first thing I tell them is cool down, you know see anything yet.
E.L’s singles include “Obuu Mo”, “Kaalu”, “One Ghana”, “Auntie Martha”, “Shelele”, “Mi Naa Bo Po”, “Koko” and “KaaBuAme”, “See me Sometime”, “Abaa” and “Pay Like a Boss”. His debut album was Something Else (2012).
