He said; "I think fatherhood inspired me. What's in my head is 'Wetin' this boy go see in the next 10 years?' I don't want him to see my old videos, I want him to see the new Bella who is still doing things. I don't want him to hear 'history' like his daddy used to sing. I want to be the type of father that when he turns on the TV, he'd see and then say 'That's my daddy', that's what I want to be to my child. He's an inspiration to me," he said.

"A few days to the drop of my album last year, I was an emotional and mental wreck. I’d just gotten to the UK where I was scheduled to do some promotional activities when I heard the news that I’d lost the child I was expecting at birth. I got the news that my little boy is here. I’m happy and blessed. What’s lost can never be replaced, but I have another chance, a new lease on life. A new purpose. I’m a new Daddy; DO NOT DISTURB."
