In an interview with DJ Nyaami on SVTV AFRICA , he expressed that his experiences in the US have shaped his perspective:

"Even if I were offered GHS50,000 per month, along with a house and car, I would still turn it down. I’ll only visit Ghana but not stay. I promote Ghana and Africa quite frequently on my TikTok videos. Most of my friends want to visit too. Ghana is pretty cool, but unfortunately, there’s not a lot of money going around. The majority are suffering. I’m happy here. The opportunities here are endless."
