AY.com
AY.com became a household name in 2009 soon after his hit track, Pass me your love,
was released. Interestingly, so many people thought the song was Terry
G’s who he featured on that track. It was even reported that AY.com
asked Terry G never to perform the song without his consent. It was also
alleged the artistes fell out because of that.
And when the song stopped being a club
banger, nothing was heard of AY.com again. It was as if his time fizzled
out just as soon as the song went off air. Many even went ahead to
allege that his rift with Terry G contributed to his exit from the music
scene.
But in a chat with Saturday Beats, the singer cleared the air, stating the reason for his hiatus.
He said that he left the limelight to
raise a family which he said was very important to him. AY.com dispelled
insinuations that the misunderstanding between him and his friend
affected his music career.
The singer said, “I am a family man and
marriage is totally different from courtship. It is a lifetime union. I
was away from music so that I could get to know my wife better. Marriage
was one of the reasons I was away from the limelight. Raising a family
requires a lot of attention and that is what I am giving my family. I
have two children now. I had to train them to a level for them to know
their wrong from right. I had to make sure my home was stable before I
went back into music. I had to give my home the attention it deserves
because my family is very important to me. If my home is not settled,
there is no way the music would be settled. I give God the glory that my
family is settled.”
He said that his rift with Terry G is
over and they have a song together. He admitted that they both learnt
their lessons from their misunderstanding and hoped that it would
strengthen their relationship.
“People that say that my career has
failed as a musician do not know what they are talking about. I can
never fail as a musician because I control music. I just released a song
with Terry G, No Mind Them. I decided to work with Terry G
because we started everything together. I wanted us to clear the air
about our beef because I receive a lot of calls concerning that matter.
We are good friends now. Those that believe that my rift with Terry G
ruined my career are entitled to their opinion. All I would say is that I
learnt a lot from our rift. I regret some aspects and it taught me a
lot of lessons; likewise Terry G too. It made me to be able to stand on
my own and be a man.
“Before the misunderstanding, we used to
be very close friends but we are not as close as we used to be. We are
not so close as before because we are both family men now. I don’t know
if things can be the way they used to be between us because there are
women and children in our lives now. I wish and pray that things would
be better than they used to be between us because he is a very good
friend of mine,” he said.
