He said:

“I was with Marlian Music, they weren’t appreciating me, they weren’t doing anything. I won’t say because I love Naira, let me not lie to you, I’ve got big love for Naira. I like Naira like say I like woman. But what I'm saying is that I wasn't appreciated and if it continued that way, they were going to keep downgrading me. I left, I didn't even go there for them to pay me though, but at least appreciation is good.”
