Veteran Nigerian musician Charly Boy revealed during a News Central TV interview that his mother gave birth to three sons after him, all of whom died, and he believes he is responsible for their deaths.
He explained that doctors had advised a Caesarean section, but his mother refused, choosing to deliver him naturally after an eleven‑month pregnancy.
Charly Boy said the traumatic circumstances of his birth shaped his understanding of family history and influenced the experiences he later documented in his memoir, 999.
“My mother had three other boys after me, but I think that I killed all of them. I would say I am responsible for their deaths.”
In the memoir 999, he shares his personal perspective on various stages of his life, offering readers insight into the events that have defined him.
