Nigerian singer GoodGirl LA, whose real name is Euphemia Ekumah, recently opened up about a deeply personal chapter of her life. In a candid interview with Hip TV, the talented vocalist shared how her father once disowned her after she made the bold decision to abandon formal education in pursuit of her music career. For many fans, this revelation gave a new and emotional layer to the singer they know for her soulful voice and impressive artistry.
GoodGirl LA explained that her father had envisioned a completely different path for her, one that involved completing her education and building a conventional career. However, her heart was set on music. When she eventually gathered the courage to tell her parents about her plans, it led to a heated confrontation. According to her, her father didn’t take it well and asked her to leave home, effectively cutting ties with her at the time.
The singer described the moment as one of the most difficult periods of her life, admitting that she was just 17 or 18 years old when she left home. Despite the pain, she remained focused on her dream. She also stated clearly that she has never regretted her decision to walk away from school to follow her passion. In fact, she said if she could go back, she would have started her music journey even earlier.
GoodGirl LA added that over time, her family reconciled with her as they saw her growth and success in the industry. Her story is a reminder that the path to fulfilling one’s dreams isn’t always easy or understood by everyone, but staying true to oneself often pays off in the end.
