However, speaking about it in a chat with Showtime, the ‘Yawa’ crooner said he feels great and honoured for BET to have noticed him after a long time.

According to him, the award signals the beginning of more big achievements for him.

“I feel great and honoured. There’s a lot to be done but this is a great start to a lot to come”, he said.

Asked if he saw the BET award coming, he said; “I don’t make music to be recognized. I don’t care about that because it’s not my primary objective in life. I feel like BET is so great, the fact that it recognizes that this is what I do, this is the reason I do it and it recognizes me for that. I’ve been doing this music like forever, but now they can see that this is what I’m doing and I appreciate it”, he said.

Speaking on what to expect from him musically in future, he said; “Nobody tells you what is going to happen in a movie before the movie comes out, if not you are not going to go see the movie when it comes out. Expect greatness because I cannot deliver anything short of that.”

Meanwhile, he expressed profound gratitude to everyone who has been supportive of his music.

“I want to say a very big ‘thank you’ to everyone that has been supporting me; all those who have known me from the beginning and those who are just getting to know me. I appreciate you all for everything”, he said.
