He reflected on how staying at the top of his game was not easy.
“It’s not easy, making it here ain’t easy. Stay on top ain’t easy, we just gotta take it all, one second at a time and keep doing what we do best. It will all work out, always does. We never give up. A wise woman tells us all the time to remember why we started, we always do. We still got a long way to go, let’s make mistakes, learn from them and continue growing. Till we legends. This is to 1-Million Followers. Ngyabonga. Akwande.”
Speaking to TshisaLIVE after his multiple award nominations late in June, he said he has managed to remain grounded and level-headed because he knows he can't drop the ball.
“I put my family first, I think about my mom. When something goes wrong or right, she's the first person I think about because I know where we come from and I wouldn't want us to go back there. That's why people need to handle situations in a calm manner. It's important, especially people who are out there and up there. They are watching your every move so you need to be two steps ahead.
“I listen to my music a lot because the things being said in it changes people's lives. It shows I'm a respectful person. I always want to be respected and respect myself. It's me staying truthful to what I say.”

Award-winning musician Young Stunna is grateful and in a celebratory mood after he reached a million views on Instagram.
Taking to his timeline he wrote a lengthy post reflecting on his journey in the music industry since he began last year.
“Two years ago I couldn’t imagine living in Papta’s house, I couldn’t imagine the whole country singing along to my lyrics every time they hear them on a song I’m featured on, or even releasing my own songs and finding out they big hits. Man I thought it was gonna take me some time & tears. It was hard after all these past years I swear. I’m here now, Adiwele hit maker? Every song I’m featured on goes platinum, I’m winning awards, I’m taking care of my family, shit this all me? Come on.”
