However, at the peak of his career, Korede Bello returned to school to pursue a degree in mass communication.

Speaking on why he dumped music at the peak of his career to return to school in a recent interview with The New Telegraph, Korede Bello said,

“I love education, not so much traditional education, but I love to learn how the world works and how the human mind operates. So getting a degree in Mass Communication seemed congruent with my profession.

“Writing a headline is similar to writing a chorus. They both have to be catchy and evoke some emotional reaction. Music and news are both languages of emotional connection. So, it is a good thing to be educated on your passion. I have observed that you can be the most famous or richest person on earth and still be unhappy or unsatisfied on the inside.” He said.
