According to the Shatta movement CEO, People should stop doing that because Daddy Lumba paved the way for your favorite artists and even for me personally.”

“Why not compare me to your so-called decorated Sark and Stone? You know very well that this comparison is meant to stir up more hate against me, but time will reveal all, and people will learn. God is watching all of you,” he added.
