He added that $5,000 isn’t a big deal for the 30BG crew.

He said in part:

"We are getting to 1 million because of the exposure Davido has given us. I am very grateful for the exposure, the money, which is the $5,000, is a promise. The money is not yet in."
"But the money is not the issue. But the exposure, bro. Bro, the exposure. I now have a fan base in Nigeria. People hold my banner, people hold the brand. People look up to me. Just me. An ordinary washing bay boy. Because of Davido. It is because of his repost..."
