Some weeks back, it was in the news that popular singer , Lil Kesh , was deported from the US .
Even though the report was quite sketchy, the singer never addressed the matter till yours truly , Saturday Beats , reached out to him over the report.
In an exclusive chat with Saturday Beats , the singer explained why he never addressed the issue.
He simply said , “ I was never deported from America . The news is totally false and that is all I have to say . I kept quiet about the report to make a point, which is that there is no point addressing an issue that is not true .
If I had spoken, it might have appeared that I was shedding more light on the situation . But it is not true that I was deported from America . ”
Recently , his colleague , Reekado Banks , made a statement during his Thank You Concert in Ibadan in which he said that he was better than Lil Kesh and that there was no basis for comparison .
It should be recalled that the two artistes had a ‘ beef ’ at the 2015 Headies Awards .
Reekado Banks took home the award for the Next Rated Artiste , which came with a new SUV and this caused a stir as some people had thought Lil Kesh would win the award .
However, reacting to the Reekado Banks ’ claims that he is a better musician , Lil Kesh simply said , “ I saw the video online where Reekado Banks said that he was better than me , but I have nothing to say about that . I don’ t care what anybody says , and I don’ t have any feelings regarding what he said because I am just in my own world . ”
Taking a trip down memory lane, the Rora singer spoke about how he felt when he was exiting Olamide ’ s record label, YBNL. He told Saturday Beats that even though it was a huge step in his career, he was not scared to leave the record label.
“ I was not scared when I took the step to leave Olamide ’ s record label. I am never scared ; I just knew it was the right move , so I was never scared . So far , I think the steps have helped me more as a person and as a brand .
For one, I am a better person mentally and right now , I am not an instrument for the growth of someone’ s business. Instead , I am instrumental to my own growth .
“ Looking at the financial side as well , it was a good step . I cannot say I would reap what I have sown immediately , but every move I make now is to ensure I have a brighter future .
I am doing all this for the future .
When I announced that I left Olamide ’ s record label , some people were sceptical, but I proved them wrong by releasing hit songs . To me , there was no option of failure ; it was a win- win situation . That was my strength and my fans have been so amazing in motivatting me.
Thanks to my fans . With little effort, the results have always been amazing .
“ Life as a label owner compared to when I was under a record label is good , but I have more responsibilities now . Life is a bit tougher now because of the responsibilities ; it depicts growth and leaving YBNL was a very big step in my life, ” the singer said .
Delving a bit into his private life, the singer said that he had not been in a relationship since the beginning of 2017 .
When Saturday Beats tried probing further , he said that he did want to talk about his private life . He said , “ I don ’ t have a girlfriend and the last time I was in a relationship was early last year . ”
