The celebrated musician wrote:

"1998/1999 I think Ife or Ibadan, it was just me and Black then. I can't recollect the exact event Daddy Showkey stood up for us PBOYS when show organisers were treating us badly based on hotel and balance levos. He didn't even have to but he made sure we were treated properly."
