Rapper and singer Superboy Cheque has recounted his struggles with acne, revealing that the condition nearly led him to abandon his music career.
In a recent interview on Yanga FM, Cheque disclosed that his desperation to cure his acne prompted him to purchase a makeup product that caused severe facial damage to his face.
Cheque, a self-described perfectionist, said he was anxious about his appearance, particularly after gaining recognition with his song ‘Zoom’ and signing with a record label.
He said the incident affected his self-esteem, causing him to shy away from women and cameras.
“I struggled with acne years back. It was terrible. My desperation to cure it led me to buy a makeup that almost disfigured my face. It was embarrassing. I almost quit music. I couldn’t even approach women then.
“After my breakthrough song ‘Zoom’ and I got signed by a record label, it dawned on me that I would be attending interviews and would be in front of cameras. I am a perfectionist. So, I went to get a makeup from a store to clear but instead it almost disfigured my face. I woke up one morning and realised that my whole face has been damaged,” he recalled.
