He disclosed that his father had made a bargain with him under which, in exchange for attending classes from Monday through Friday, he would construct him a top-notch studio and give him money to film music videos.
He said, “He [my dad] said if I go to school, he has a piece of land not far; he will build me a studio. But I should go to school from Mondays to Fridays and on weekends, work in the studio. It was a world-class studio. He will give me money to shoot some videos.”
