The rapper also disclosed that he experienced a period of depression lasting approximately four years after facing a dry spell in producing hit songs.
Nevertheless, he expressed that he regained his confidence and “swag” when he released hits like ‘Wo‘ and ‘Motigbana.’
“Till date, songs like WO, MOTIGBANA, are like magic to me. I thought I could never get myself again. I was going crazy,” he said.
