It was 95 per cent western, American songs they listened to, but today Nigerian music is even dominating the whole world.

Most of the people who have this type of money are into ‘Yahoo’ or blood money. That is the major challenge of the music industry right now. There are a lot of artistes who are making it genuinely, but that is still the major problem.It’s not that I have been off the radar, I have just been busy traveling in and outside Nigeria. If it is in terms of releasing new songs, I have a new song now titled ‘NOTICE’. I’ll release it in April on social media.

It is about appreciating Nigerians who have done well. In the past, recipients of the awards were Bola Tinubu, Aliko Dangote, Davido, Ali Baba and many others.I pioneered hip-hop in Nigeria. When I was starting there was no hip-hop in Nigeria and the torchlight was a covenant. That is the truth about the torchlight.
