“I was sceptical at first because I couldn’t sing, but after I gave it a try and saw that everyone enjoyed it, that’s how I became a musician.”

Regarding the dispute wherein up-and-coming musicians deny the influence of music icons on their professional triumphs, Daddy Showkey declared he had no desire to accept any recognition for having paved the path for such artists.

He went on to say that acknowledging it is up to the upcoming artists who have profited from his legacy.
