KCee and Presh who were popularly known as KC Presh, decided to pursue solo
careers After 12 years together. The two met in church and signed up for the Star Quest TV show which they won. They
gave us hits likes “Shokori Bobo”
and “National Cake“. There have been numerous reports concerning the split but
the two have said in interviews that they just wanted to go their separate
ways.
In a new interview with The Net
Newspaper, Presh shares his
journey to the top, rumoured “beef”with KCee, and his personal life.
Read excerpts from the interview below:
On why he split with
KCee: “When Kcee and I were together, he was taking away my style of music
because that wasn’t really me; it was the commercial side of us. But now I have
woken up that thing inside of me; the singing, dancing and gingered Presh, all
put together. I needed to bring out the other parts of me and it needed a lot
of work that was why I went away.”
On his relationship
with KCee: “It is very normal and cordial. I remember on his birthday, I
sent him a birthday message. I still have it on my phone and I can show you.
Kcee and I are still brothers and we are both doing music successfully. I am
not in competition with him, if I am not happy with him that makes me an enemy
of progress. I am so happy for his progress. Even the last AY show, when he was
performing, I was dancing. There’s nothing to regret about our decision to go
solo. As far as music is concerned, Presh has somewhere to go to and that is
where I am heading.”
On if he is envious
of KCee’s success: “I don’t think so. I am happy for him and what he has
achieved so far. There is no need to be jealous or envious of him. I want him
to be successful. This things happening to him is what I want, and I’m sure if
you ask him now, he will tell you the same thing. I love Kcee, so there is no
need to be envious of his success. I want him to succeed more than this.”
On reports that his
record label came to his rescue when his broke: “(Laughs) That’s a big lie.
Presh was never broke. If I was broke, I would not have travelled for all those
trips and tours I told you about. I would not have been in those countries. It
is so sad that in Nigeria, once you are not in the limelight, people think you
are broke. Even during those trips, I did shows. I deliberately made up my mind
at one point that I didn’t want to be making public appearances because I was
rebranding and repackaging. I went behind closed doors to get myself ready for
the world again.”
On his personal life
and marriage: “At the moment the only thing I am thinking of is my music.
The only thing I am engaged to is my music. For now, I am engaged to music. In
fact, I am dating music. For now, what I feel for is my music and nothing else;
that is what I am pursing.”On if he has a hidden love child: “No, I don’t have.
You can go round to find out but I bet you, there’s nothing for you to find. If
I am going to have one, I will let you know. For now, it is music that I want
to marry. Maybe when I’m done with music, I might think of other things. But
for now, it’s just music and nothing else for me. I love women and
relationships, they are dear to me but for now, I have to take permission from
them to marry music.”
On if regrets
partnership with KCee: “I don’t regret it. I and Kcee had a lot of good
times but what I’m saying is that my experience as an artiste that has worked
as a group before made me realize that it’s not a good career move. I’m not
saying I regretted my time with Kcee .”
