The singer also used the interview to address an ongoing feud with fellow artiste, Zlatan Ibile.
He accused Zlatan of being the “devil” who caused a rift between him and superstar Davido.
“I was in America looking for foreign artistes. I was busy displaying my madness online when Davido called me to come. Me and Davido did not quarrel until when the devil Zlatan came,” he added.
