I wrote “Comforter” in Ajah (Lagos). I had come back from Abuja. I see myself as a storyteller, so I was relaying what I went through in Abuja. It
just poured out of me. All the lines in the song are real. I actually called my mum and told her, “Mama, your pikin dey suffer for Abuja.” She
cooked and sent it via a vehicle coming from Kano. On that song, I was reminiscing on my life, I was just sitting in the corner and taking stock. It
was a mirror of how I was feeling at that time. These songs are dense because I’m piling a year or two years’ worth of experience into them, and
that’s why it’s hard to explain them. Some of these songs weren’t written in one day. With “Comforter,” I was going through it. When I first
recorded “Comforter,” God told me to go to Kano. So, I went to Kano for three months. I just stayed with the song, and I kept making videos. Since
Lagos wasn’t really feeling me, I planned to go to Kano, which is my hood, build up that momentum and bring it back. I went to Kano and kept making
content, and it just got serious. The funny thing is that three days before “Comforter” was due to drop, I didn’t want to release it anymore because
I worked so hard on the song, and I didn’t know what I was hearing anymore. I wasn’t even sure about what the fuck I was doing. I locked myself up,
carried my Arizona, smoked to the full brim, played the song again, and that reminded me why I recorded the song again. It was good to go. I was in
search of something to comfort me. At that time, it was weed, I just smoked. Drake just dropped an album around then, and I’d be listening to the
album and smoking up. So that’s how the song came about. When I’m going through situations, it just piles up till I find a way to make it come out
