According to Lojay, the uncle, whose name he declined to disclose, is now involved in politics and is well-known and financially successful.

“I have an uncle who is now in politics. I won’t mention his name, but he is very rich and popular. When I wanted to start music, he told me I would never blow,” he recalled.

Lojay said he refused to allow his uncle’s doubts to discourage him. Instead, he used the criticism as motivation to continue pursuing his musical ambitions.

The singer expressed happiness that his determination had eventually paid off, despite the challenges he faced at the beginning of his career.

He also encouraged his fans to remain committed to their dreams and avoid allowing negative comments from others to prevent them from pursuing their goals.
