A viral freestyle video of a 4-year-old Liberia boy, Escobar, has captured the attention of thousands online, and Liberia’s Afrobeat sensation CIC has wasted no time in stepping in to change the young prodigy’s life.
Within hours of the clip circulating on Facebook, CIC, with the assistance of blogger, Mark, was able to track down the child. To his surprise, the artist discovered that Escobar was not attending school. Acting swiftly, CIC covered a full year’s tuition and provided all necessary supplies, uniform, backpack, and books, ensuring that Escobar could be enrolled immediately.
“Music is his passion, but education is more important,” CIC explained.
Beyond securing his schooling, CIC also revealed that Escobar already has a recorded track titled Celebrate. Plans are now in motion to produce a music video and roll out the release in the near future.
This remarkable gesture underscores CIC’s dual commitment to education and the growth of Liberia’s next generation of artists. By placing Escobar in school while also encouraging his musical ambitions, CIC is sending a powerful message, that talent must be nurtured with both learning and opportunity.
Fans are now eagerly watching Escobar’s journey, anticipating the moment when the young rapper not only thrives in the classroom but also takes his first big step onto Liberia’s music stage.
