Five Star Music singer, Harrysongspoke with Tribune's Segun Adebayo and he spoke on an array of things ranging from why he flaunts his material wealth on social media to being married to music for now. Excerpts from the interview below:
Some people believe you are overspending. Don't you think you may go broke, if care is not taken?
How do you mean I am overspending? How did they know my worth before they concluded that I am spending too much? I think people are just insinuating, because they don't know what's going on with you. As I said, I have worked over the years. If you listen to my music very well, you will understand my challenges before I got to this point. I don't have to keep telling people what happened to me before now; it is already in the public domain. God has blessed me and I can't hide His goodness and kindness over my life.
How much did the new car cost you?
I don't like to talk about money even though I like it. It can only be God. I don't think at this point in my life, I still have to seek people's opinions before I do what I believe is best for me. Those who are saying I may go broke because they think I am overspending should wait and see where God is taking me to before they conclude on how things will end. Above all, let's just play the game simple and calm. Nobody cares what you worth; people only want to say something about you, because you are still relevant. They have said different things about people before me, so mine should not be an exception. The fact remains that I am not overspending. Come to think of it, can you overspend what you don't have?
What do you wish to have that you don't have and is there anything that troubles your mind now that you are famous?
We are human beings that need to be loved. As celebrities, we always wish a lot of things that we would feel like going to those places that we used to go and people would still see you as the same person you were before fame came. I don't feel good about people thinking Harrysongis this or that so they can't approach me again, it troubles me a lot. I met a girl who told me her heart was broken. I asked her what she meant by that and she told me that how would I feel if I love somebody but I cannot walk up to the person to express my mind. I told the girl that I was not the one who broke your heart. I didn't even know about your problem, how come you are blaming me for that. That is one of the many things that we face that I don't like. I wish a woman could walk up to me and say I love you.
Has any girl ever told you that?
Yes, I have heard it a couple of times. But I have never allowed it to get above that level. I can't say yes to every girl who says I love you, but I can tell them I love them too. Some people would say they see women as a distraction; it is true. But I also see them as a blessing to this world. You know girls could be very excessively possessive, they want to be with you every time, but I can't cope with that.
But you need a woman in your life…
I am aware of that. Without women, the whole place would have been so boring. Women are very important to the world. Right now, I need to focus on music, girls can come later. I am not thinking about settling down now. You have to plan these things so that you don't misplace your priorities in life. When I am ready to settle down, I will.
