So I grabbed one from the back, and I flung him off the landing. You know the screws get extra ruthless when you’re Black.
‘‘Layin’ on my back, now the block’s feelin’ mad. Now I’m in a lab trying to do my best.”
Experience in a prison

He expressed gratitude for the opportunity to do what he enjoys most while caring for his people.
“Nigeria has never heard of me. I don’t care if I’m the most famous Nigerian artist; I’m just glad I can do what I love and provide for my people.
If you knew half of the things I used to do for money, risking my freedom on a daily basis, you’d be much happier for me.
I came straight from Chelmsford HMP into the music industry. I never imagined I’d live this long.
“Now it’s all just funny when people talk about me. “Of course, I’d perform with my injured leg, or even without legs or arms,” he wrote.
