When we think of celebrities, what comes to mind is an exotic and fancy lifestyle. They walk red carpets looking like they just steeped out of a fashion magazine and rightly so since they are dripping in money but before the fame, these celebrities were just like you and I.
Below, we have compiled a list of ten celebrities from their days of humble beginnings to super stardom.
1. Davido
Considering he grew up in money, some will be wondering why he is even on this list but long before the days of making back to back hits, this sensational singer was just a schoolboy like most of other youngsters today.
2. Tiwa Savage
No doubt one of the series and most talented songstress Africa has to boast of, Tiwa Savage has defintely come a long way and this photo is all we need to know she didn’t always be a talented sex symbol that she is today.
3. Basketmouth
His jokes make us laugh and even with a single throwback photo, this laugh maestro can still send us into peals of laughter.
4. Wizkid
This music genius is quite the ladies man today that it is hard to believe he was once this innocent schoolboy up there right?
5. Mercy Johnson
Yummy Mummy aptly describes screen diva, Mercy Johnson but long before she became a chick with class, she has had her days of thrash looks.
6. Ice Prince
Our fresh aboki rapper didn’t used to be always a dapper looking young man but just look at his before and now!
7. Yemi Alade
Every artiste has their story and believe it or not, there was a time Mama Africa herself was just another artist thay wanted to “blow”.
8. Olamide
The King of the streets himself, Olamide is the baddest of all. Olamide hasn’t only done well for himself but also helped groom some of Nigeria’s finest stars today.
9. Omoni Oboli
It’s hard to imagine the skinny woman in the photo above is the multiple award winning actress, producer and director that has made a mark in Nollywood right?
10. Genevieve Nnaji
Before she became Nollywood’s sweetheart, Genevieve was a young up and coming actress. But now, she’s an household name and has done very well for herself in the entertainment industry.
