In an interview with media personality Abeiku Santana, Fameye shared that he preferred being in complete control of his music career as an independent artiste.

The singer, who recently released a new song titled "Very Soon," noted that working with an international record label has many restrictions on a musician's career.

He said:

"I was working with Empire before. We are over. We are not working anymore. For now, I believe I can do things on my own. Working with an international label comes with a lot of restrictions."

He explained that being independent helps him make critical career decisions and amass a lot of wealth for his children to benefit from in the future.

He said:

"I don't want a situation where I don't own some things later. I want to control everything so my kids can also benefit. I also want to release music when I want to do so. I have worked with a couple of labels, so I am speaking from my experience. I don't know about how they deal with other artistes."
