Speaking to Word Is, the gospel musician explained the reason behind the new song.<\/p>\n

I have talked to some friends who do not understand how to protect themselves from the virus and even don\u00b4t understand what Coronavirus is all about. As an artiste, I need to use my talent and be creative. \u00b4If the government is creating awareness about the pandemic, why not me as an artiste?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Adding:<\/p>\n

I want to use my talent by informing people about the virus and how they can protect themselves.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Speaking about his critics, Jimmy Gait stated:<\/p>\n

People always see you as they are and they want to interpret everything according to what they understand, but that is not my problem. My message is home even if to five people. As an artiste, I cannot ignore things because I will be judged. \u00b4It is okay for people to talk. I don\u00b4t take any offense, they can say whatever.\u00b4<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Additionally declaring:<\/p>\n

I am not the weak guy I used to be. Now I am stronger and I will focus on the right thing. I will not cry again on TV, because they will always talk.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
