Joe: How Resembling Tuface Idibia Made Me Cry Bitterly

Popular artiste, JoEl, who is signed to Kennis Music has
been through a lot but above all, has made his name and
come to stay in the Nigerian music industry.
In an interview with Hip TV, he revealed somethings that
no one has ever heard, talking about his success story,
how he made it and what he passed through.
The ‘Chukwudi’ crooner revealed that he started music
since he was 9-years old when he joined the junior choir in
his church and later graduated to the senior choir, hence,
he already knew music was his way.
However, he later came to Lagos from Kano to work with
celebrities and in 2010, he got signed to Kennis Music.
Talking about sharing same resemblance with Legendary
Musician, Tubaba, he revealed that he never had it in mind
to look like him but when he was trying to venture into
music, he went to his barber and asked him to cut a style
he has never done before, even though he didn’t want to do
the kind of 2face cut. He later did it but without the mind
that he wanted to look like 2face and he didn’t he looks
like 2face until he saw his album art.
Furthermore, he revealed that there was a time when he
was working at Mr.Biggs, a man just came to him
suddenly and asked him to please have a picture with his
children, thinking he was 2face. He objected but after the
man insisted, he had to take the picture and the man later
offered him money though he didn’t accept it.
When asked if looking like Tubaba has been a cause or a
blessing, he revealed that it has been both and there was a
day he cried bitterly when a guy told him he will never
make it because he looks like Tubaba but the story later
changed.
