‘I am pushing it forward a bit because of Ramadan. It was supposed to drop for June 1 before, but apparently it occurred to me that my muslim friends don’t listen to music during Ramadan, so it makes sense to push it forward because of them as well. So by God’s grace in July after Ramadan, and all of us can enjoy it together,’ he said via a Now O’ Clock podcast hosted by Wole in an episode tagged ‘Creatives and Criticism.’
He however declined to reveal guest artistes who would appear on the album which he says is ‘80% done’.
