In his interview on The Echo Room podcast, the reality star stated that Nigerians don't value his style of music, the same way they did Burna Boy and Davido before fame.
According to Whitemoney, Nigerians have the mentality of looking down on talent until the artiste gains international recognition.
The singer also spoke about his music genre, Kumkum, stating that he is the king of his genre.
“That’s what they did to Burna, David; they don’t believe in their star but when outsiders appreciate you, they will pay times two. Just they pray make I no blow because if I blow; I’m a star in my lane. Nobody rivals my talent; you’re good in your way, I am the king; that’s why I have my own genre,” he said
