In a series of tweets, the singer, who turns 26 today, revealed that he was born in the early hours of the morning around 3 am, as narrated to him by his mother.

The Dangbana Republik artiste said his mum told him that labour was quite hard for her.

According to him, the incessant bleating of a goat at the backyard of the traditional hospital in Ikorodu where his pregnant mother had visited, made his birth seamless.
