Your song, Rich and Famous, was a success. Would you say you are finally rich and famous?
I would say I am comfortable enough to fend for myself, my family and the people around me. You can never be rich enough. For example, we all know that Aliko Dangote is the richest person in Africa but he would still not be comfortable with where he is. He just keeps working hard to be richer and better. I am rich and famous but I want to be richer and more famous.
If you had not lost to Iyanya during the Project Fame competition, do you think you would have been this big?
Only God knows. I might not have been this big. I believe not winning served as a lesson to me and people around me. The fact that I lost does not mean that I would not succeed in future. It just means that I should be persistent, work hard and be patient. Trust me, things would fall in place.
Were you depressed when you did not win then?
I did not feel depressed immediately. I was happy because I got a car and a million naira. But after realising I had things to sort out, I discovered that a million naira was not much. When you know you have a family and personal issues to straighten out, a million naira is nothing. After Project Fame, I was down for a certain time because I needed to relocate to Lagos from Kaduna where I was based. I lacked the resources to do so and it became a major challenge to me. When I got to Lagos, I had to stay with a friend, Oscar, who sheltered me for about two years.
