The singer, real name Oluwafemi Oke-Eko, said he had been in the industry for a long time before his breakthrough came in 2017.

“Upcoming artistes must be patient and at the same time persistent in pursuing their goals and don’t make hasty decisions because of short term goals,” he told NAN.

“I’m saying this because I have to be patient and exercised a lot of caution for me to get to where I am today.

He, however, urged the government to curb piracy in the industry.

“The biggest issue in the industry is piracy and this affects every artist in every way because it hinders our efforts,” he said.

“We know that government is trying its best in the fight against piracy but more efforts and steps can be taken.

“Piracy must be eradicated from the country and the public must help in that aspect.”
