Speaking in an interview with Saturday Beats on the inspiration behind the title of his album, \u2018Trench to Triumph\u2019, he explained that it\u2019s about where he came from and how he got to where he is today.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe moved from Orile Iganmu (Lagos) to a \u2018face-me-I-face-you\u2019 apartment in Ojo when I was seven years old. We were about nine or ten people sharing a room.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs the first child of my parents, I faced a lot of financial struggles while growing up. I was sent home regularly from school because of unpaid fees, and I ended up taking the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) five times.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was working on my music at that time and also helping my mom at the market where she sold fruits. Sometimes, I would even hawk the fruits in traffic.<\/p>\n
\u201cGoing from that kind of life to being signed by Mavin Records, and on my way to becoming a global superstar is my triumph. I used to be in the trenches and now I am triumphant.\u201d<\/p>\n
