During a conversation on the Afrobeats Intelligence podcast with Joey Akan, CKay noted that many people have complimented his smile.

Akan asked,

 “When people describe how you smile, what do they say? What’s the most repetitive or recurring review of your smile?”

CKay responded,

“A recurrent review of my smile is that I have a nice smile and I should smile more, like I don’t smile enough. I don’t know, man; maybe I don’t smile enough in pictures. I think that’s what it is because people get to see me more pictures than me in real life. Maybe they build a perception of me needing to smile more because of pictures.”


The singer explained that his mood influences his music, and he wasn’t exactly in a cheerful state while creating his upcoming album. His goal was to express genuine emotions through his music.

He explained,

“I wasn’t smiling when I started working on this album; the mood was reality. I think smiling all the time would be nice and I think it’s not realistic to smile all the time because things that make you smile all the time don’t always happen.”

He added,

“There are moments to smile and moments of reality; positive and negative emotions happen to a person, so I say making music only about the positive things, it won’t be realistic. For someone like me making art has to represent the positives and negatives for it to be authentic.”
