After all, my cousin used to work for them so I always use to be around them in their crib.

“But I used to come for holidays here cause my dad has a house here; so we used to come here. So D’banj at the show, I just told my dad I want to stay at the show and just watch. I was the youngest and they were all just like me. At a point, I performed to a song that nobody knew but it was an opportunity and from that day I was like I need to do this.”
