"I'm actually not any of these guys' mates because I am from the 2001 era.
"I feel blessed to be around and still be active and relevant in this space. But I think it's unfair pressure on these kids when you want to bring them to my level."
Samini further revealed that the only person among them who had dropped a hit during his hiatus was once his student.
"Among the four S, the only person who has dropped something is from my school. Stonebwoy is my family."
