"There's a big demand for Afrobeats globally now. So most of our gigs are mostly international, outside of Africa. Personally, I always like going home. Even when I don't have nothing to do. I just go home, just tap in with my family, tap in with my friends."
The singer continued:
"What I’m most excited about is my African tour. We are doing an African tour as well. We are touching base. I think about 10 countries, all stadiums. I miss my fans in Africa so I wanna come back and tap in."
As mentioned, the teased Africa tour by the singer is likely to consist of shows in 10 stadiums, each one in a different country. Aside from the information provided in the tour teaser by the singer during the interview, no further details have been announced as of the writing of this article.
