It took me by surprise. Just like a young boy from Calabar who took part in a competition and before you know it the whole world knows you, presidents know you and it’s a lot to take in,” he said.

Life goes on regardless of what you are going through, life has to go on. It’s like the day I was told my mom died, I was backstage about to perform. The promoter came to me and told me I’m going in in the next 15 minutes and within 15minutes, I got a call that my mom is dead. The guy was like for real just go but I insisted that I would perform and the people there didn’t know I just lost my mom.”
