During a recent interview on the he noted that many artists fail to show him the respect that he deserves.
In his words;
"Am the first African artist to go on a BET stage and collect a BET award
I'm one of the only artists probably in the world that left his record label with no drama, who else do you know?

Pretty much there was drama with everybody , Jesse left with drama, Brymo left with drama
Am not a drama person, I don't like drama.
I've done so many stuff for Nigeria, for Africa but people always disrespect or sleep on me
I don't make music for accolades or for respect
You see all those titles like Legend, King, OG, I don't even like them like at all, do you understand what am saying
For me, music is beyond the accolades that come with it or the awards that come with it, I've done many amazing words with my career, I've done a deal with Jay-Z before right? Am the first African artist in the breakfast club , done some things in my life but do you think am making music for that?".
From "Tea with Tay" podcast,
Don't be offended handsome. Fame is fleeting
ReplyDeleteDey play, it's not how far I, it is how well.
ReplyDeleteBuild something else worthwhile that you have passion for.
ReplyDeleteHuman respect and accolades are fickle.
Once you leave the centre stage, you are forgotten and people move on to the new kid on the block.
That's why fame and fortune shouldn't make you abandon your family and old friends.
Music gave you fame but fame is not all there is to life.
You are alive and healthy.
Keep creating value.
No time to waste. ⏰️⏳️🕰
The younger ones have taken over your shine, kpele
