NIGERIA rapper, Michael Ugochukwu Steven, known as Ruggedman, has ventured into another entertainment sector as he reveals he is into skit making.
According to the 47 years old veteran rapper, he had previously acted in movies and played various short roles before making it big in the music industry.
Ruggedman said in an interview with HipTV, “I created a character called Mazi Kalu. He is Igbo, an old man, who has problems but, at the same time, sometimes tries to solve problems.
"And if you know Ruggedman, I have always been in acting. I did my first waka pass, I think even before I became Ruggedman. I play extra in like two movies, Francis Agu’s movies back in the days.
"Of Course, you can find me in Toyin Abraham’s The Ghost and the Tout, you can find me in Jim Iyke’s Bad Comments. So, I’ve done a lot of acting. I’m gonna start promoting that part of me really soon.
“And, of course, I have been doing some skits here and there. But now, I have decided to get serious with the Mazi Kalu character. So, it’s a character that is gonna be out there. There will be funny ones, but of course, it’s still gonna teach you things.”
Ruggedman is a graduate of Political Science from Lagos State University (LASU).
