Sensational Nigerian singer, Ric Hassani has recounted how he quit his banking job on resumption day.

The β€ΛœGentleman` crooner said he got a job offer from one the commercial banks in the state but abandoned the offer after he received a call to perform at a wedding in Lagos.

He said he was preparing to resume at his new job when the call came from a show promoter that he had been booked to perform at a lavish wedding in Lagos.

He said Rekado Bankz was already mistakenly booked for the wedding because he has a song titled β€ΛœLadies And Gentlemen` but the bride spotted out the error that she requested for the person that sang β€ΛœGentleman` and not β€ΛœLadies And Gentlemen.`

The Port Harcourt-born singer stated this while featuring as a guest on the latest episode of Echo Room audiovisual podcast hosted by Quincy Jonze.

Ric Hassani said:

β€œI got a bank job. I don`t think I can name the bank now. The day I wanted to go resume, that very day, Shody The Turnup King called me for a show in Lagos. He was the first person that gave me a show in Lagos for β€ΛœGentleman`. I was in Port Harcourt at that time.

β€œI was getting ready to go for my first day in the bank work, then this guy called me to come do a job and I was like, oh wow!

β€œAnd I just didn`t pick the bank`s call anymore and I have been here Lagos since then.”
