Africa is not just about where you are born. For me, Africa is the whole continent; from south to north, to east to west.

I’m honoured when Africa recognises me

With technology today you can sing like a frog and sound good. And then when you come on stage, what do you do. Some of those artists never toured, probably just hype.

As long as music of mine is not used to preach hate, or to bash women, it's okay for me. If it doesn't promote violence against women, drugs, this and that, use it, go ahead.

I don't like the idea of something being pure. It means we have to be perfect, I don't want to be perfect.

There are people who refuse to say that Africa is a continent, but that doesn't remove the fact that it is a continent.

I want to look at myself in the mirror at the end of my life and say I've done my share and I'm proud of what I've done.
