He surprised the lively audience when he knelt before Juliana as his wife looked on unfazed. He thanked her for her positive comments about his album and danced with her on stage.

He explained that the album has all styles of songs including dancehall, R and B, Kidandali, Swahiri and other styles, which he said were meant to meet tastes of all categories of people.
