Frank Edwards Reveals How His Mum Stopped Him From Securing $320,000 Music Deal

In a touching message of gratitude for his mother, renowned gospel singer Frank Edwards joined Nigerians in commemorating Mother’s Day.

Frank Edwards described a turning point in his career when his mother stopped him from agreeing to a $320,000 (now worth N492 million) contract with a group that wanted complete control of his discography.

The musician disclosed that his mother went to considerable measures to safeguard his interests, even though she had initially helped him launch his career by providing him N150,000 to establish his studio.

To stop him from going overseas to complete the deal behind her back, she even seized his international passport.

“The very first time in my life years ago I was to close $320,000 deal from a group that wanted to almost own my entire catalogue. You said NO ! And I quote you. “ The 150,000 naira I gave you to start that studio is bigger than that money, just give it time . They are not of God”

“Infact you took my international passport away from me Just to ensure I don’t travel to close that deal , and I was laughing because I didn’t need to travel to close it but then I listened to you. After u said that I was thinking How is 150,000 Naira bigger than $320,000,” he wrote.

Edwards expressed his gratitude for her preventing him from finalizing the deal, celebrating her on Mother’s Day.

“Now I understand there is so much to say !! But like I said .. this space is not enough!! Happy Mother’s Day mum!!! Thank you for everything this space is not enough to write about you. Thank you for an impenetrable wall of fire! Thank for always telling me the mind of God about the things I’m doing, Non of your words fell to the ground because you truly hear from God,” he added.
