He has won himself a number of awards and broke a record when he filled up the Tickepto Dome in an concert where he performed all his hit songs. People love him so much they even bow down to him, something he confessed he doesnt like and stated that he would much prefer people praise and bow down to God and not him. “Some people started bowing, others touching my feet and bowing before me. That was the most uncomfortable thing I have ever experienced in my life. I essentially don’t believe that anyone should bow before me for whatever reason. Whether it’s out of gratitude, joy or respect,” he said.

Gospel has always been part of my story, my identity and I always knew God had placed me here for a reason,” he said.
