“Everybody wants to know where they’re from. So it’s good to see the transition from not being appreciated, to being appreciated right now. Even with fashion.
You got designers making African print fashion, so it’s not only music. The culture is being felt everywhere.”
The singer went on to talk about the Nigerian music industry and how it has become accepted globally.
