“Hip-pop is poetry, puns, punch line and metaphor. People do not understand my songs because of the metaphor and vibes I use; they do not understand I am an alien who processes things a little different than the average person,” he bragged.

According to him, he is not bothered when fans criticise his work of arts, adding that it is a result of Ghana’s stage on the musical ladder.
