The tattoo-loving act spoke about the rise of his career in music, and said working alongside American superstar Akon in his song Cucumber has been the high point of his career and promised to continue to do more to attract more other such collaborations in future.

On why he is called B Red, Adeleke stated that while he was in America growing up, he was called Red because of his fair complexion and in the United States blacks that are fair-complexioned are referred to as red, and that he only added B from ‘Bayo’ to arrive at B Red.
