His banker profession was not out of passion, but out of respect for his late father\u2019s wishes. He said:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cI quit my bank job. I couldn\u2019t tell my mother or any family member then.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Driven by a growing void inside, CDQ found himself drifting away from suits and spreadsheets into the arms of his true calling, music. He shared how his longtime friend and music producer Masterkraft, helped pave the way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">According to CDQ, Masterkraft wasn\u2019t just a collaborator, he was a lifesaver. He continued:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cHe used to borrow me suits to wear to work. When I quit, I left the house and went to stay with Masterkraft in the studio. I told him banking isn\u2019t my passion. I will probably just do it to make ends meet. But music is something that whether it gives me a return-back or not, I\u2019m still happy doing it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Realizing how unhappy he was in the corporate world, Masterkraft urged him to give music six months of undivided attention. The rapper revealed:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cHe told me to face music and watch how things change. I did, and in less than six months, I had my breakthrough.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Today, CDQ is a household name in Nigeria\u2019s music scene, with several hit singles and collaborations under his belt.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_214588\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-214588\" style=\"width: 478px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-214588\" src=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/07\/IMG_8951.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"478\" height=\"587\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/07\/IMG_8951.jpeg 478w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/07\/IMG_8951-244x300.jpeg 244w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 478px) 100vw, 478px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-214588\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">CDQ<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In same interview, <\/span>the Nowo E Soke crooner revealed that shortly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/2025\/07\/23\/why-i-turned-down-davidos-record-deal-cdq\/\">after the success of his breakout hit \u2018Indomie\u2019, Afrobeats superstar David Adeleke aka Davido reached out to sign him to his label.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">According to CDQ, Davido was fresh off a successful African tour and wanted to invest in his growing music empire by bringing him on board.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">While the offer sounded juicy, there was one condition CDQ couldn\u2019t overlook and that was the involvement of his producer and longtime collaborator, Masterkraft.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The three eventually met to discuss the terms, but the conversation took a different turn when Masterkraft, recognizing CDQ\u2019s strong street following, suggested a partnership deal instead of a traditional recording contract. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/2025\/07\/23\/why-i-turned-down-davidos-record-deal-cdq\/\"><strong>Davido declined and the record deal fell through.<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nigerian street-hop rapper CDQ is known today for his electrifying lamba and unapologetic swagger, but before the spotlight, his story was far from glamorous.
