Singer and actress Ego Ihenacho has revealed that Lagbaja was supportive when she told him she was leaving his band.

Ego, who left the band in 2006, disclosed this in an interview with QEDNG publisher Olumide Iyanda in which she spoke about her experience working with the masked musician and her journey as a solo artiste.

Speaking on why she left the band and how Lagbaja supported her when she told him she was leaving, Ego said: I just felt I needed to move on and it wasnt as dramatic as people thought it was. There was nothing and it wasnt something Ive been thinking about for a long time.

So, it was probably a month after, it just came to my mind, my gut feeling said okay that was the time to move and I told him sometime in October and I mean, it was expected, I wouldnt stay there forever, as passionate as I am and as ambitious as I am about music.

In fact, Im surprised I even lasted that long. You know, so he was very supportive, he was happy-sad you know, he was like ˜Okay, I always knew you had this in you so when do you want to? and I was like ˜Okay, we just started the new year, December will be like my graduation, so that was like a farewell show and that was it and I moved on.

Ego added that working on her own was tough and she had to fight for her place as a solo artiste but she was able to succeed with the help of those who supported her.

Musically, its been good, tough, but like I always say, I took some things for granted. Its not Lagbaja anymore, its me with my band. So, youve seen me with a band so its not going to be hard for you to call me for shows but it didnt happen that way.

I really had to fight for my place as a band and it was encouraging, I had people who supported me by calling me for shows and it was great. I got the Glo ambassadorship and other opportunities. It was just a mix of the good and bad and here I am, also as an actor, so Im grateful for the journey, she said.

When asked if she missed the monthly show at Lagbajas Motherlan, the Wura actress said: I miss Motherlan a lot. Like I said, it was just a vibe. There was something to look forward to. We had everybody and there was just that common thing for everybody at that time, you know, the jokes, the music, we had the old, the young it was just amazing. It was just a nice vibe so I miss that.
