“For my career, I have no more rivers to cross, my dream and wish now is to impact more lives, solidify all I have built in the past and contribute more to the growth of the entertainment industry.
“I want to impact the youths, the youths are the leaders of tomorrow and if we see what is happening to them recently, we will observe that they need help.
“So I want to continue touching on their lives through my musical empowerment programme which has been on for a long.”
