He said;

He was so good. Na me first tell David, omo, start singing.

Shoutout to my cousin, M-Pizzy; he is still a good artist. We started pushing him first. So one day, David was always doing backups, and I said, David, M-Pizzy is good, but you too, you are good oh, start singing na.

David said, are you serious? I said, yes! And he started singing. So, it was my cousin, M-Pizzy that actually showed us the way. Shoutout to M-Pizzy too.

Also disclosed by the artist was how he and David sold 20 televisions in his father’s home.

He and his brother, Sina Rambo, reportedly served as Don Jazzy and D’banj’s personal assistants during the Mo’hits era.
