Early life and education
Erica was born on March 30, 1987, the eldest of five children in a family from Warri, Delta State, south-central Nigeria.
He attended Standard International School for primary school and completed his secondary education at the same primary school.
Erigga was known for participating in Milo basketball games during high school.
Profession
Erica wanted to be a professional basketball player before he became an artist. It was thought that he would excel in sports because he excelled in sports from the beginning. He excelled in sports from a young age and was even a member of the Milo basketball championship team.
Unconsciously, he felt that music was more suitable for him, so he changed his interests and began to pursue music. With the release of songs such as “Paper Boi”, he began to pursue music.
In his early twenties, he began recording songs in the studio, influenced by great rappers such as Eminem, Jay-Z, 50 Cent, Nas, Rakim, Ja rule and Canibus.
Erigga’s rap style is unique, with songs that are mostly vulgar and not suitable for teenage fans, viewers, and other audiences. As mentioned earlier, he raps in Pidgin English (a West African dialect). His phrases are very refined and he is good at creating lyrical images in the minds of his listeners.
He became a hot name in the music industry after releasing the video for the song “Dem No Get Two Heads”. Igho Tosin of Igho Films shot and directed the video. However, the video was deemed inappropriate and had a major impact on Erigga’s music career. It did not do well on television and radio, and Erigga lost many awards, endorsements, and nominations because of it.
His other songs are usually banned, but the musician doesn’t seem to mind and keeps rising with the love of his fans. Erigga is currently signed to experienced artist manager Snow Man and his record label New Money Records. His success can be more accurately described as self-made.
Eriga’s music is rarely played on the radio due to the immoral nature of his songs. The song was “Dem No Get Two Heads” which he released in 2010. The music video of the song was directed by Igho Tosin of Igho Films and has a violent theme. The Warri native was sentenced to four years in jail for a minor offence. He was suspected of armed robbery and petty burglary.
Based on his clothing, he was believed to be a member of the evil cult Black Axe Brotherhood.
Personal life
Morenike Agarivbie is Erica’s wife. He tied the knot with her in a traditional wedding ceremony in Warri, Nigeria on October 2, 2020. His other child is a 3-year-old daughter, Kyla Agarivbie.
When it comes to marriage, he believes that the reason many marriages are unhappy is that women marry men who are ready for marriage, rather than men they love.
