Popular singer Abbey Toyyib Elias, aka Skiibii, has revealed that he has never asked any of his colleagues for collaboration, claiming they instead reach out to him.
The ‘Sensima’ crooner disclosed this while featuring in Hip TV’s Trending, a programme hosted by reality star KimOprah.
Skiibii said: “I don’t call other artistes to do collaboration. It’s not my style. From Olamide, he wanted a collaboration with me. He asked for us to do a song together, and I obliged. The song with Olamide was my first music video to garner one million views on YouTube.
“My collaboration with Reekado Banks was because we were friends. We’ve got to have a relationship between us before we work. I don’t just work with anybody. So, I and Reeky were very close friends. We did ‘Sensima.’ Before that one, we already did a song together titled ‘London.’
He added that even Canadian rapper Tory Lanez asked to be featured in his song, stressing that he didn’t reach out to the international star.
