I made “Pier 46” in L.A. before I came back to Nigeria. I think it was two days before the “Stubborn” session. Hoodini (producer) was in L.A. with me, and we were preparing

to go for another session, and we just decided to try something. He was in the apartment, and he played the beat. I had played him one song in the past, and I was like, “This

is such a coincidence,” because it was a Spanish song, and I was feeling the attitude in the song, and I wanted to explore something like that. The beat Hoodini played for me

was very similar, and it was such a crazy coincidence because it’s a mood I’ve been wanting to tap into for a while. We just stayed back and worked on it before the session.

It took quite a while because I wanted to perfect the attitude, because it’s something I’ve been wanting to tap into.
