Addressing speculations of romance during the shoot, Okello clarified the professional process he and Nasha followed before filming commenced.
Speaking in an interview on Pulse Celeb 254 on April 11, Okello clarified that the collaboration began with discussions about the song's theme and the desired level of intensity, ensuring clarity and mutual understanding.
Emphasising the importance of professionalism, Okello highlighted the necessity of clear communication and boundaries during the shoot.
"Of course, it was a closed set. We had to talk about this song. It started when we were creating the song. What do you want to sing about? How extreme can we go? Can we go nasty or reserved? It's a conversation inaanza before hata muanze kuandika song. Then when the song is out you guys can now envision what to achieve in the visual," he said.

"There's a person who asked me ulikuwa na wasichana warembo sana kwa set ya Nakufa, mlifanyaje after kumaliza? So I was like si kila mtu alienda kwao. But Aliniambia narrative is different from what I know. He was like set ikiisha wanaparty hata after two days," he said.
