Zoro, who raps mainly in Igbo language,  also added that he loaned money to produce the song and that his colleague, Flavour supported him during the period.  

Speaking during the interview, he said:  “When my song ‘Ogene’ dropped, I was still in Phyno’s house. I was sleeping in an empty room that didn’t have a bed. I just had my shirt that I tie my dirty clothes on and use it as pillow and sleep on the floor.

“I loaned money to fund the video of ‘Ogene’. Flavour also supported me.”

He went on to say he left Phyno’s house in 2016 after someone stole the Penthauze boss’ money.

Zoro further added said ‘Ogene’ first resonated in the diaspora before fans in Nigeria hooped on the trend.
