In a conversation on the Zero Conditions Podcast, the artist elaborated on the mental exhaustion he experienced while pursuing Medicine and Surgery in Ukraine. Emphasizing that he had reached his limit with the course, Peruzzi expressed his desire to fully pursue his passion for music.
“I got tired for real, for real. I never felt like that in my life. I was done, like everything about me, in my head I was done with medicine. And that was when I was about to start my final year so it was a lot. I had written my first MD already at the time. It wasn’t about how long I had left at the time, it was about me not wanting to do anything again. I didn’t want to do it anymore.”

Peruzzi attended Odessa National University in Ukraine, progressing up to his fifth year. However, the challenges of Medical School became overwhelming, prompting his return to Nigeria. He opened up to his mother about his struggles and reasons for wanting to leave, and she set one condition for his return.
He continued:
“I really got tired, my entire being was tired so I left on the first of January and I didn’t even have my passport, I had lost it. So I went to the embassy and they have me a travel letter because I needed to leave that urgently. When I got back the only person I told was my mum. I was able to explain how bad I was feeling and she said I should make sure to come back with my school result and everything from the first year to show that I was in school so I did.”
Back in Nigeria, Peruzzi found it challenging to explain to his father the reason for his return, and his mother hadn’t disclosed it either.
