The “Touch It” hitmaker continued by saying that he took inspiration from some of the biggest names in music, including 2Baba and the legendary P-Square, who both had R&B backgrounds but combined those with their native sounds to create songs that sounded cohesive.
He said blending Ghanaian and R&B sounds together cost him his Twitter fan base, and at one point he became afraid of receiving abuse from his fans for changing his musical style.
Then, he had to give up his Twitter fans in order to make the entire world rock to his music, and over time, he hoped that his Twitter following would grow to love his new genre of music.
