He recounted how they visited the lyrical evangelist’s family home in Oshodi. He noted that Tope’s mum had complete trust in him taking good care of her.

He addressed their relationship situation and said they are now on good terms.

“Tope Alabi is one of those who passed through me in the industry. We are both good to each other.

"I remember the year that she said it herself when she got to my place that she had been looking for me for over a year or two. I said the other time that we don’t know the value of what this work carries. You might want to see an artiste then, and you will be searching for two years or more before you see them.

"Eventually, she went through a lot to see me and she got my place and I accepted her wholly because she was hardworking and gifted with music. When she was with me, we used to go to their house in Oshodi. We can go away for a week or 2 and her mother wouldn’t be worried or bothered because she had already handed her over to me. Because I am not that rubbish artiste, that cannot be trusted with girls. When she was with me, I saw her musical talent, but she wasn’t that good at acting”.
