How has your journey into stardom been? What have you missed the most?
My journey into stardom has been amazing, I thank the Almighty God for life and abundant grace. I have also missed my local foods, ewa agoyin with better soft Agege bread from Iya Qudus.
Kindly give us an insight into your current projects?
I’m currently working on a lot in entertainment and business. On the entertainment aspect, I have my music which entails developing my craft by dropping new singles, albums and movie gigs. For business, I have my wine, shoes etc.
You once said you couldn’t further your studies to the university level, tell us what was responsible for that?
There were two reasons for my incomplete education. Firstly, there were no finances to see me through school. Secondly, at that point I could tell that going to school wasn’t part of my strength, instead, craft/business was, so I decided to focus on my strength.
