The young musician also recalled how he had been ridiculed by fans people because of his soundtrack which had Bollywood lilt to it when he gained prominence in 2019.
“Everything they doubted, everything they laughed at me for, I built on it. They called me Indian Boy; I went to India. I’m the first artist to shut down four cities in India, 5000 capacity and above. No one can deny that I’ve impacted Afrobeats on a global scale,” he added.
