He emphasised that everyone has a specific moment in their career trajectory and continued to express confidence in the timing of his success.
There is time for everyone, despite what I have heard some of my fans say. It will occur at the appropriate moment,” he declared.
Rejecting the idea that his past nominations were a sign of opportunities lost because of timing, the “Sweetie Pie” singer emphasised that his main objective is to satisfy his fans. Citing his songs “Effiakuma Love” and “Effiakuma Broken Heart” as examples of this adaptability, he emphasised his dedication to writing songs that connect with listeners across a range of emotions and life circumstances.
It is not the intended outcome. All I want to do is serve the public by providing them with relatable songs. He continued, “I just want to provide them with music for every circumstance, event, and state.
