Your Life Compared to Other Artists & Your Music in General

• How Did You Befriend Avo Kado? Are we best friends? I knew him through Facebook.
• Many of Your Songs and Facebook Statuses Criticize Gwamba and Martse. What’s the Origin of This? “Attack” is an exaggeration, but I don’t agree with some of the things they do—especially bragging in a way that makes other people feel poor.
• If You Bumped Into Martse, Gwamba, or Sholigah, How Would You React? Nothing. Sholigah and I are cool.
• If Martse or Gwamba Approached You for a Collaboration, Would You Accept? Martse, yes. Gwamba does gospel—I’m not going to fake around and pretend to be gospel when I’m not.
• Before “Maliro a Sholigah,” Had You Ever Interacted With Sholigah? Yes, we are friends.
• Which of All Your Collaborations Do You Cherish the Most? All the songs I did with the late Revolver.

Let’s Talk Personal

• Grace Silungwe, a Character in Your Song “Aaaargh,” Rejected Your Love Proposals. What Was the Inspiration Behind This Song? It’s just my style—I rap about rejections and personal experiences.
• If You Were Getting Married, Who Would Be Your Best Man? OG Profate.
• What Pisses You Off the Most? Hahaha! Failing exams really pissed me off.
• How Many Siblings Do You Have? Many.
• How Do Your Family Members React to the Raw Content You Post on Facebook? They blocked me.

Unknown Simple Facts About You

• Any Other Talents Besides Rapping? Being funny.
• Any Hidden Facts About You That People Might Find Interesting? I’m going to retire from rap as soon as I drop BFF featuring Sholigah, Expino Jr., and Gattah.
