You don’t have to be famous to be privileged.As the daughter of billionaire businessman Femi Otedola,Temi said she doesn’t understand why people shy away from acknowledging the advantages they had.S he stressed that admitting privilege doesn’t cancel out personal effort.According to her, she was given a head start and she has worked to make the most of it.“At the end of the day, I was given a leg up and I’ve made the most of it.I don’t know why it’s so hard for people to say that. I think it’s because they feel it discounts what they’ve achieved in life”, she added.
Mr Eazi agreed, noting that he too benefited from privileges made possible by work done before him.“I definitely got lots of privileges as a result of the hard work that came before me,” Mr Eazi added. I feel like privilege is purely growing up in a circumstance where your parents made a certain amount of money, you didn’t have to struggle, and you had access to education, food and a foundation in life that not everybody gets,” he said.
