He made the assertion whilst speaking about the competitors for the 'Dancehall artiste of the Year' category at the 2021 Ghana Music Awards.
"I think Samini should be honoured as a legend. He shouldn’t be mixed up with the kids. He deserves too much to be placed in these categories because he actually paved the way for some of us to follow," Epixode said per a 3news report.
The winner of the category will be revealed on Saturday, June 26, 2021, when the awards will be held.

According to the popular televangelist and leader of the Lighthouse Chapel International, Otumfuo’s reign as a king has not impacted positively on the Asante people in terms of development.
The leaked audio recording angered some indigenes of the Ashanti Kingdom, who demanded the man of God apologises for his demeaning comments against the Asantehene.
After describing the Otumfuo’s reign as useless, Dag Heward-Mills admitted in his apology letter that indeed the traditional leader brought development to his people.
According to him, the accomplishments of Otumfuo are “evident and manifest for all to see.”
