Speaking on Upclose, the rapper said that late Collymore was like a big brother to him. He was that person who always assured him that things would be okay whenever he had doubts.
“Unajua saa zingine ukifanya vitu wasee wanadhani umechizi but you need somebody to affirm your voice unaona. I look like I’m established and I know one or two things, but the truth of the matter, unahitaji msee ako juu yako kidogo akuambie uko sawa usijali. Ni noma lakini uko sawa. Hio ndio role aliplay big sana kwa life yangu,” said Juliani.
