Who said money is not good? Have you ever wondered what some of your favourite Nigerian celebrities looked like before they became famous? Sorry to burst your bubble, but most of your “perfect” looking favourite celebrities weren’t glittering as they are now before they gained fame. In fact, most of the celebrities your so much adore today came from very poor backgrounds and wasn’t living a life of abundance before now. Taking the life of Patoranking for an example of such celebrities, the singer at some point quit school due to financial difficulties and moved from Cape Coast to Accra where he spent most nights on the streets of Osu for survival. According to Patoranking in one of his interviews, ‘Nothing to Something’ was the chronicle of his life. He had lived in a one room apartment and sold rat killer in traffics. He also was once a bricklayer and dabbled into so many things to achieve his dreams. Today we present to you some unseen throwback pictures of these Nigerian artists. Some looked wretched then, but they are all looking good and clean now. The beauty/handsomeness is there, it was just money needed for it to be seen.
