According to the veteran singer who is affectionately called Iron Boy, Ghanaian legends should be rewarded and celebrated for their efforts while they are alive rather than when they are no more.

“As humans if you have a way to honor somebody for their achievement you have to do that when the person is still alive. But when you wait till the person dies and after the person’s death you decide to reward their achievements, I feel that it is of no worthy value to the person,” he said in an interview on Kessben TV.
