Many individuals say fuji music is road music and I realize that you have done a ton to change that discernment…
It's not another thing. Individuals have constantly depicted fuji music as a classification for touts and that discernment has existed for quite a while. Individuals called it road music, some others called it canal music yet I call it great music. I have not permitted it to influence me or my profession.
Individuals like KWAM1, attempted to improve individuals have a comprehension of fuji music. I would not say his endeavors did not yield much since he did everything to guarantee that fuji music turns into the sort of music everyone would love to be related to.
All alone part, I blended with hip-bounce artistes who are viewed as the world class in the music business. Individuals trust they are the luxurious and instructed among artistes. I mixed hip-jump into fuji music. I have additionally worked with a few hip-bounce artistes. They include me in their tunes and I highlight them in mine also. In this way, the gathering has been great. Thus, individuals now started to see fuji music in another light. Today, I can say that I am one of the artistes who have given another intending to fuji music.
Contrasted with different sorts of music, why is fuji viewed as a less-serene kind of music?
Before, individuals believed that exclusive region young men listened to fuji music. Presently, even individuals in the corporate part listen to fuji.

There is rivalry everywhere. You will find it among hip-hop artistes; for instance you will find rivalry between Wizkid and Davido. It is something that is bound to happen and you cannot run away from it. The reason why people think that rivalry is more pronounced among fuji artistes is because of the abusive words that make up the lyrics of our songs. In spite of all, I have done a lot of collaborations with other fuji artistes. Unless you do not want me on your album, I will cheerfully accept to work with you.
Can fuji artistes sing without using abusive and vulgar language?
Even though we are trying to change that aspect, it is also a marketing strategy. If an artiste hurls insults at you and you ignore him, people will not buy your album. It is when you reply him that people would rush to buy your album because they want to hear what you have to say. That has been the tradition of the industry for a long time.
Slangs are also peculiar to your industry…
It is our way. I come up with slangs so that people would notice me. As a fuji artiste, you just have to be creative or else you would become irrelevant. You need people to talk about you and your music. These slangs have meanings and it is just a way of putting words in people’s mouths.
Why have you taken up several aliases since the start of your career?

The only one I no longer use is Arabambi because I am no longer with the group.Arabambi is a caucus founded by KWAM1. Even though he is somebody I respect, I do not belong to the caucus any longer. I created my own caucus.
Did you create your own caucus because you fell out with KWAM1?
KWAM 1 belonged to a caucus founded by the late Sikiru Ayinde Barrister. He pulled out of that caucus in order to found his own. As you can see, my decision to pull out of KWAM1’s caucus, is not a sign of disrespect. He is still my senior colleague and he was already doing music before I joined the industry. I respect him a lot. What I did was to create a caucus for my own people.
Do you do any other business apart from music?
No. The only thing I do that puts food on the table for my family and I is music.
