The interviewer asked, “Is it true you were paid $3 million for Ambani’s wedding in India?”Years later, it paid off and continues to do so, with more to come. India is a vast territory. I am actually the first afrobeats artist to tour India. If I am not mistaken, I am most likely the first African, but please excuse me if I am. But it’s a big thing.
It’s not only about the wedding. It’s about the reception wherever I go. I recall touring India and having no idea how they knew. When I go somewhere just to eat, it’s all paparazzi. It’s crazier than love in Nigeria.
