EXCERPTS:
Q; Congrats on the “5ive Alive Tour”; sold out show after sold out show, tell me how this experience has been for you?
A; It’s been amazing. People know this that I went to school in America for like two years and I have been coming here since I have been a kid. That’s cultural diversity, I have seen both sides of the worlds, Naija and the Western world. Just to see the acceptance of our culture, not only the concerts, but other things like fashion, the restaurant etc. Just seeing the culture being accepted commercially is amazing to see.
Q: You have been a huge part of that, you made it happen, being at the vanguard of Afrobeats. What’s the difference between Timeless and this tour?
I did Arenas in the past but that was like one-off. For Timeless, it was the first time I did Arenas run, really like back to back, where I have to take care of the whole production team. It’s a lot apart from what you see on stage, what happened behind the scenes, I can’t even start to tell you, so all those things. Timeless was like a learning experience but with this tour is crazy. Timeless is still popping, the album is still popping, some songs from it are still out there popping. But for this tour, we put more to our production. Shout out to Cobhams Asuquo, he is a musical director for this tour, we did a lot of things, production wise, I feel we took it to another level. That’s the difference. All the shows have been sold out.
Q; You have a special guest in Omah Lay joining you in concert…cuts in
A: Yeah, that song is very special that we made. We made many songs. I was like we have to do one show on the tour. We have both been busy, you know he’s recording his album, so he didn’t really have time to come up on the tour but he made it to Toronto and that was a legendary night. That is the biggest song on the album. Definitely, I knew Omah Lay and Davido’s record will go regardless of whatever. I was even ready to bow out and God gave me this kind of songs. The songs certainly add more life, I’m grateful. The tour has just been going on amazingly.
Q; Your first album was called “Omo Baba Olowo”. With the title I think there’s a tendency for people to try and use it against you. How do you feel about that?
Q: Your Uncle is a governor, is like you have politics in your blood.. (cuts in).
A: Yes. It is in the blood. My grandfather was a senator. My uncle, may his soul rest in peace, Serubawon, was the first executive governor of Osun State and the current governor is the last born of the family. It is like obviously there is politics in our blood in Osun State, we have always been going home.
Q: What about you, a governor?
A: No. I’m enjoying myself. Too much stress in politics man.
