Speaking at SMFEST 2022 in response to the question, “How can an aspiring individual break even in the entertainment industry?” he replied:

“The problem I see with this current generation of entertainers is that they want to blow up, but they don’t want to work. Show up, forget about the glory later, and start the work first.”
