He also talked about his upbringing, revealing that he was born and raised in the Ketu area of Lagos State, where they lived up until he turned 13 years of age. At that point, his family uprooted and moved to Ikorodu as a result of unforeseen issues, so he moved with his mother to start a new life.

“When they hear you’re from Ikorodu, they think you don’t know anything. But you can be from the ghetto and still be classy”, he said to the host.
