Olivetheboy added that he had to involve other individuals to beg his parents to reconsider their decision to imprison him.
In the interview, he said,
"It was not pleasant in the beginning. I released my first EP in 2021 when I was in KNUST. At the time, they expected me to be in school but I was in the studios. I didn't even tell them I was about to release an EP but they found out eventually. They then threatened to get me arrested just to put me back in school. It was an unpleasant situation at first but we eventually settled the issue and now, they are proud of me."
The young music star also disclosed that his parents were musicians who had released multiple songs together but he had no interest in making music until he started secondary school.
