He confessed to be incredibly true to his culture while also revealing that he is from a Yoruba root, which its culture has emerged to be one of the most beautiful culture to ever exist. In this phase, he also finalised that Yoruba culture is a peak pick for showcasing and education.
Concluding his utterances, he disclosed that he is working on “changing the world in his own little way and also leave a legacy behind.”
His words:
“I wish more musicians started embracing their originality and selling out less—embracing the culture, the fashion, the indigenous spirit of Africa and Nigeria, and showcasing that fearlessness in the music. Yes, amapiano is beautiful, but I think we can be more original with how we make music as well.”
“I think the future is going to be more original, more human with the topics that we talk about, [and] more educational. Yes, it’s fine to talk about girls and money and clubbing and all that. But the music has to be more educational than that for the next generation. Music is the best way to teach people.”
“I’m always true to my soil and its culture, and to my background as well because I am Yoruba. Yoruba culture, and Nigerian culture in general, is one of the most beautiful cultures to ever exist. There are things that we can showcase and teach the world.”
“I’m trying to teach the world. I’m trying to change the world in my own little way and also leave a legacy behind. Music is not really a hustle for me. It’s my life. I’m trying to tell a beautiful story with it, and I’m just trying to inspire people and make people feel better, and just give hope to the human race”
Nigerians couldn’t hold their nerves and reacted massively via all the social media platforms.
