My parents didn\u2019t have money and you can\u2019t compare me to some artiste I came with because they were living in their parent\u2019s house. My mum, my dad, my siblings, and myself were living in a rented apartment. It wasn\u2019t okay for all of us.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe time everybody was talking about my shoes and dress, trust me, I was trying to put things together. The things these other artistes had to go to the boutique to put together, I had to go to Kantamanto\u2026 so you can\u2019t compare the two of us.
