Wande Coal
By IFECHI OKOH
Celebrated Nigerian act, Wande Coal, massively called Black Gold on the beats scene, has finally confessed that many of his fans don't know he is Comedian.
"Why this may have been so, is that I have never displayed that interesting aspect of mine. Hence, many of them have just been seeing me simply as a singer, not even as a dancer which only few knew me to be when I was dancing for D. Banj, years back," he informed.
His comical disposition has been a top secret which he actually held close to his heart over the years until his recent radio programme interview.
"I have never deemed it fit to tell them because I feel it is not necessary until this moment if not my radio interview which brought about it suddenly and I couldn't help not answering my host," he divulged.
Coal who was talking on the aspects of him which his fans didn't know on 99.9 FM station, maintained that he actually set out as a dancer, specifically recalling that he did dance for D. Banj before becoming a celebrity.
"This cold aspect of me and my talents, is just one of those which a good number of my fans and even friends don't know," he asserted.
That pretty revealing aspect of Coal has undoubtedly broadened his resume, unfolding him expressively, not only as a song writer, singer, but also as a dancer and comedian.
