Chukwuebuka Dusten Anyasie, aka Dusten Truce, who also plays Jared on popular sitcom Tinsel is also a rapper.
In Tinsel, he is Salewa’s love interest. He didn’t set to become a rapper, it took years for him to make up his mind after playing basketball for a while.
He said ”Well honestly, I never set out to become a musician and I’m not gonna give you the cliché, “I didn’t choose music, music chose me.”That’s very lame. Initially, I played basketball. I actually thought I was going to play in the NBA or something but somewhere along the line, growing up, some stuffs happened with my parents, my family and it left me in a certain place mentally and that was what led to the quietness I spoke of earlier. And during this period, I started reading a lot and writing a lot and around that period, some great albums came out like MI’s Illegal music mixtape, The Talk About It, 50Cent dropped The Massacre.”
Luckily for him then “There was so much music material in circulation and I started listening to rap music and somewhere along the line I started taking random things I wrote and started writing them into verses and then I met friends that were actively into music. We started doing things together and that was it. I found myself rapping.”
