He said, "I like Simi, I didn't sign her. I wish I did. I like Teni, but I didn't sign her. I wish I did. I had the opportunity of signing Davido but I didn't because I kind of figured that he would be fine.
Wizkid, obviously, I couldn't because Banky W got to him first. That would have been amazing. Falz, I love his work. We almost had a deal."
