He however added that his mother who initially wanted him to do gospel music because of his<\/p>\n
strong Christian background has grown to accept the path he has taken with good guidance.<\/p>\n
\u201cInitially, she wasn\u2019t happy with my music career path when I started. But now, I always play my songs for her to listen and she will be like, \u2018I don\u2019t like this word, take it out\u2019 and all that. She has always been supportive though.<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cHer only wish was for me to do gospel music so when I came out with Woara, she was very happy.

he has fallen to temptations from women on a few ocassions.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think I have gone wayward because I don\u2019t take alcohol or smoke.
