There isn't a class structure in Nigeria, there's a tribal structure and prestige as far as money is concerned.

I'm not over the top; I'm not wacky. I'm fairly understated, and that reflects in the way I sing.

When I go into the studio, I completely detach. I let my emotions come out.

I am a reluctant celebrity, in some ways.

I've never associated myself with other singers, certainly not female singers.

My musical career was an accident.

I've got absolutely no real perception, properly, of time.
