3. Naeto C
The Owerri-born rapper was born to former Nigerian Ambassador to Ireland, Dr. Mrs. Kema Chikwe and Chief
Herbert Chikwe. Though he spent his early years in Ireland, his fondness for music grew fast and was articulated into
other creative art forms, most specifically poetry, which took him to various competitions and earned him accolades
as a young poet. He, however, had to finish school before the dream of being a musician could grow big. After finishing his secondary education in Lagos, Naeto C moved to the United States for higher education both in Suny old Westbury and a year later, George Washington University. It was at this time that he met Uzikwendu and Ikechukwu, who were aspiring hip-hop artistes out of Washington Heights, New York. Naeto C graduated in 2004 from the George Washington University with a BSc. in Biology, intending to study further and become a medical doctor. After some deep self- searching, he changed his mind and decided to pursue his dream and develop his talent as a musician. In the summer of 2013, Naeto C disappeared from the entertainment scene and returned to school to pursue a higher degree in London at the Oxford University, taking a course in Energy Economics.
