Nevertheless, he has currently achieved international recognition with a feature from Skepta- a British rapper.

My Godfather in the industry is Olamide, as he brought me into it. However, I grew concerned when he ceased posting about me and sent him a message asking if there were any problems between us.

He said, “Despite the criticisms Olamide faced for helping me, I have now gone global and even Skepta has featured me. My world tour is a testament to my success.”
