According to him, he ranks as the best in the craft of music-making over the past two decades.
He said, “I am the best in this sh*t, I don wanna be bragging too much, I am the best when you put the whole Afrobeats category. I am not the strongest when it comes to visuals; maybe it's due to my personality, I don’t know. But when it comes to the art of making music, I am the best in the last 20 years.
“The only person I sometimes put myself with is Burna Boy. Burna is talented. Apart from Burna, it is me, even with Burna too, it is just me. I feel some type of way when they put me in the same categories as all these other artists. No, don’t do that, I’m the greatest.”
