‘I just got back from London and I was on stage to perform at one Hennessy event and that day I met one woman (Toyin Lawani) and she looked at me and was like, I like your swag, I like your dressing, I’m a stylist, I’ll want to style you. So we spoke for a while and we became close, and she’s also close friends with Wizkid because she was styling Wizkid at that time, so she called me up and said: ‘send me some of your stuffs, I want to play it for Wizkid and see if he likes it. So she played a couple of my stuffs for him and he liked it, he called me up, I went to his house one night around 1am, and about two months later, I got signed on to Starboy in 2013.’
