His words are;

Before you wake up, they’ve booked you, going to political shows, and they are paying you to do what you love to do. Then, and there was a lot of money. I have one of the biggest music in Nigeria titled able God. I was going for shows, and everything was just sweet.

I lost my record deal in 2020 after having an argument with my record deal manager, who got upset and told me to leave the house. As a result, I lost both my deal and my home and ended myself homeless.

I once got up at around 6 a.m., went to the beach, and contemplated jumping in because I don’t ask for help often because I try to always be content.

I argued with God, telling him that I had never worshiped anything else and that if I did so now, it would be his fault. My life altered three months after that incident. I was able to make some music recordings, collect my royalties, get back on my feet, find a place of my own, and even purchase the same car I had previously lost.
