Cape Town — South African rapper, Khuli Chana, recently admitted that he would never retire from making music and he believes that it is a calling.
Khuli is one of South Africa’s most successful rappers and said that he had previously tried to leave the entertainment industry but found himself the victim of a scam, TimesLIVE reported.
“I started to jump into other ventures and try to invest. I’ve been scammed. I’ve had a lot of failed ventures, you learn from that because I started becoming desperate. I got to a point where I was like I needed to start working on my exit strategy,” Khuli said.
He said that, while he might take some time off in between, he feels as though music is his true calling, saying it is his “lifelong pursuit”.

“Music is my true calling and every three years or so I want to put out a statement about how I’m retiring and it keeps calling me back. That statement is on ice, I will never retire.
“I think I will retire when there’s no music left in me and I do not even need to make an announcement for something like that,” he added.
Khuli had moments away from the music industry, with the rapper saying he wanted to get into the corporate world.
“I wasn’t aware that I’ve been away for so long. Because I was also making other moves. So in this gap, maybe I became a little ‘corporaty’. I found a new hustle and I also found, I also discovered, that there’s life after music,” he said.
