For abandoning her mother and siblings while searching for fame and fortune, fast rising rapper and winner of the maiden edition of Glo X Factor, Obianuju Catherine Udeh (aka DJ Switch), has begged for forgiveness.
The 29-year-old geology graduate of the University of Port Harcourt was declared winner of the Globacom sponsored music reality TV show at the grand finale held in Lagos. She beat two other contestants, Ethel Eshun and Vicky Gomoti in the last round of voting to win a whopping N24 million cash prize and a recording contract with Sony Music.
Ubianuju however said that she felt bad for abandoning home for more than a year while pursuing her music career and now that she has made it, she’s asking for forgiveness.
“I am sorry mum for being away from home for so long while in search of glory. Now that I am back, I will take good care of you,” DJ Switch declares in tears.
“I was like a prodigal son who had an opportunity in the past but due to youthful exuberance I mismanaged the resources. Now, I am a better person and more matured, I won’t disappoint my mum and my fans,” she said.
Her new song – Landing Safely – is due for release soon.
In a recent interview, Switch revealed that she gave birth to her only child, back in 2005, three years before winning the STAR Quest music show along with Da Pulse.
‘My baby is eight‘, DJ Switch told Encomium Weekly when asked how old her child is, stating that she would rather keep the identity of the child’s father private.
The 29-year-old musician/single mum also revealed that she has been in a another relationship, with an Igbo man for the past three years. ‘He understands me, I understand him….We don’t pry into each other’s business but we always make out time to see each other‘, she explains.
Switch emerged winner of the inaugural edition of music talent show ‘GLO X-Factor’ over the weekend, walking home with N24m, an SUV and a recording contract with SONY Music.
