He cited that due to the heated exchanges he has with Nigerians and their A-list artistes, many Ghanaian musicians have gotten the opportunity to further their music careers by going to Nigeria.

“I have created the space for many. And nobody can come and tell me otherwise. Even when I am beefing with Nigerians, I am doing it because of the next generation. Now everybody is getting the opportunity. Everybody is going to Nigeria because that awareness is there."

He stated that being seen as the black sheep in the eyes of the Nigerian people was a sacrifice he has done for the Ghanaian music industry.

He stated that in the country, musicians uphold Nigeria to the highest esteem and thus, it was prudent of him to draw their attention through this means.
