According to him, there are so many Marley songs he listens to but he cannot say the words even though he thinks them.

He said:

"On my playlist? I listen to everybody. There are so many Naira Marley songs I wish I sang but I can’t say the things he says.
“There are people you don’t think I listen to that I do. Because you, as a musician, you’d be stupid not to pay attention to words around you, especially the young. There are so many Naira Marley songs I wish I sang. But I can’t say the things he says, although they’re things I think about in my head. That’s why I love him."
