What’s the current state of your relationship with Chocolate City boys?
What’s the current state of your relationship with Chocolate City boys?
Due to issues that occurred in the past, there’s a little gap in that relationship, but that’s alright. Eventually all things will fall back to place. Our paths constantly cross since we are in the same business, so it doesn’t take long before you start laughing again. Personally I have learnt to be more careful, so I am a little slow to jumping back into old friendships.
There are rumours that Jesse Jagz is romancing Chocolate City again. How does this make you feel bearing in mind that you both exited Chocolate City about the same time?
Jesse has family ties within that circle and it’s unfair to expect him to break that off because of business.
If you are prevailed upon, would you return to Chocolate City?
Never, but we could have dealings again though. There are no permanent friends or foes in business.
But your recent tweets appreciatingChocolate City point in a different direction?Those tweets were to show appreciation to people I have worked with in the past. I have reconciled all that happened in the past. It has always been their call to also move on.
What do you miss about Chocolate City?
I neither miss nor regret anything. We had a business relationship that didn’t work out. That’s alright because it happens all the time in the world of business.
How does it feel to be an expectant father?
It feels exciting and I can’t wait to lay my eyes on the little one. The excitement is skyscraper high.
Why did you choose to have a child out of wedlock?
Because a child is a product of love not of marriage. Marriage was made for men to get assistance from women and vice-versa, but society has bastardised the concept. I would rather pay attention to loving the woman I am with than seek the approval of society about it.
Was the pregnancy planned?
I wouldn’t wait till I am over 30 to venture into fatherhood. So, yes you can say it was planned.
How long have you known your baby mama and when do you plan to marry her?
We’ve been together for at least three years. You’ll definitely know when we decide to get married.
Of all the ladies that have come your way, why did you choose to be with her?
It is the connection. You find someone and you flow with them. That’s something you don’t plan.
