He noted that the reason he released the numbers from these tracks was because other musicians were boasting about their high numbers, which, according to him, were twice what they had.

The Lynx Entertainment signee said at that time when the debate arose about who deserved what award, he said he was monitoring things because he was recovering from the near-fatal accident he was involved in.

In the same interview, Kuami Eugene said he had a broken right arm and could not do much with it, and even though he had been discharged from the hospital, he was on treatment.

"I saw all that and I could not do much because I was not well. I figured that maybe two weeks to the TGMAs, let me remind everyone that these are my numbers. So, I put out the numbers for the Love and Chaos album."

He said that many people were in awe at the impressive numbers for the songs Monica and Brokenheart, adding that these songs made waves in December 2023.

Kuami Eugene said he was taken aback when he did not win the Best International Collaboration award for Cryptocurrency, which featured American singer and actor Rotimi.

He said that he made waves and even the song took the Video of the Year award, and despite writing many songs in 2023/2024, he did not win the Songwriter of the Year award.

"I did not even get for Joyce Blessings' Victory. I thank God that at the end of the day, every year, I can have three or four back-to-back bangers. That is why I have been in the game for eight years and I have about 40 hit songs. This is by the grace of God."
