Superboy Cheque Opens Up About Struggles with Acne and Self-Esteem

Superboy Cheque, the popular Nigerian rapper and singer, recently shared the struggles he faced with acne, which almost led him to quit his music career. Speaking during an interview on Yanga FM, he revealed how his intense desire to clear his skin led him to purchase a makeup product that caused significant damage to his face. This experience deeply affected his self-esteem, especially after the success of his breakout song ‘Zoom’ and signing to a major record label. As someone who prides himself on being a perfectionist, Cheque became increasingly anxious about his appearance, particularly knowing that he would be in front of cameras and attending interviews. His appearance, however, took a hit when he used the makeup product, resulting in facial damage that left him feeling embarrassed. This struggle led him to temporarily shy away from the public eye, including avoiding interactions with women. Cheque’s vulnerability during this interview shows a different side of the artist, highlighting the pressures that come with fame and the toll it can take on one’s mental health.
