My Dad ‘Threw’ Me Out Of The House When I decided To Pursue Music — Rex Omar

Veteran musician, Rex Omar disclosed that his father threw him out of the house. This was because he decided to pursue music instead of law.

Furthermore, Rex added that his father, a medical doctor, wanted him to pursue Law.

Rex Omar said this in an interview with Bola Ray on Starr Chat on Starr FM. Moreover, the father’s reason for throwing him out was pursuing music would make him irresponsible. .

Rex Omar used his experience as a lesson to the youth out there to follow their dreams said:

“My father wanted me to become a lawyer, go to secondary school he’ll push me to go to law school eventually. Therefore, the best thing for me was that, from Form four, I went to do my music.

So actually he sacked me from home because he wanted me to go to school to become a lawyer and I wanted to do music. He said ‘show me one person who has done music in Ghana and is living a comfortable life, then I’ll allow you.

But I couldn’t. When I was in school I was crack, I know that if I’d gone to secondary school I wouldn’t have been the musician that I am. He would have pushed me to do law and it would have been a disaster.”

Also, he was asked if he regrets pursuing music. He answered:

“Never, I’m too happy, I’m happy I followed my heart. I was happy to have proven my daddy wrong because he said I did music I wouldn’t be responsible, I’ll be a marijuana smoker, but I proved him wrong.”
