“The only person that has the right to say something to me is Sheebah because she is the one that gave me the collaboration. For the rest, I just see you. I respect you but I don’t fear any of you, I hope you understand,” Ykee said.
Ykee Benda made the statement while responding to fellow artist Kabako, who had advised him to steer clear of the ongoing feud between King Saha and Jose Chameleone.
While Ykee respects others in the industry, he remains steadfast in acknowledging Sheebah as the one who gave him his big break.
