He said, “I hope that every artist from Africa gets to tell their story like this. Because I’m not the only one from that hustle, we all came from there. I feel like everyone deserves the chance to tell their story like this.
“I always wish for more success for the whole culture, from music to film to sports. And I wish for better government. I’m just a very positive human being, regardless of anything. I wish the best for everyone making amazing music and amazing art from Africa.”
