Taking to social media, the Ikuku Endala hitmaker said:

“I’ve never had anyone do something nice for me since I got popular. Even on my birthdays, I buy myself gifts and try to imagine if someone bought them for me. I’m always on the giving side rather than the receiving side. I'm not complaining, but as my career grows and I’ll get to new heights, I’m beginning to understand that I’ll never be genuinely loved unless I’m providing something. It’s okay, though.”

"A lot of people assume that you have everything figured out when you are famous. People approach you in a different manner; they treat you differently. Some show you fake love; some pretend that they love you. You just can never be too sure.
