Nigerian rapper Erhiga Agarivbie, better known as Erigga, has reaffirmed his unshakable devotion to music, declaring that his art is driven purely by passion—not profit.

Speaking in an interview with Hip TV, the Warri-born rapper explained that while many artists exit the music scene each year due to personal or financial struggles, he remains anchored to the craft that gives his life meaning.

“Every year, people leave music for real-life issues. But I can’t stop. Music is life. It’s what keeps me going,” Erigga said. “Take the business and everything out of it—it’s more of a passion. I can’t disappoint my fans.”

Erigga, known for his raw storytelling and street-inspired lyrics, stressed that his commitment to music goes beyond fame or money, describing it as a lifelong calling that continues to fuel his purpose.
