You know what, I made this in Ghana. I was in Nigeria for like two weeks then I flew to Ghana and
was like I need to do something different. I was in the studio and, I was playing different stuff
and I was like “yo search up the instrumental for the Diwali Riddim”. I’m a very experimental person
and I have thousands of songs where I’m just playing around. But I always wanted to do something on
that beat - think I tried a couple of times before that, couple years ago. Obviously now that I’m
getting older and a bit more experienced, it was just easy to put that sauce on it. I definitely
grew up listening to the Brick and Lace version (Love is Wicked). I think I was in Nigeria dem
times… so that’s definitely one song that sticks to my mind in terms of the Diwali Riddim. As much
as I loved the record, I was just trying to do something totally different to the record. I didn’t
want to put any parts of Love is Wicked in the record. I wanted to give a different perspective, a
different idea. The first person that hit me up when I posted Favorite Girl on socials was Jay
(Jayda Wayda). She was like “this is crazy” and I told her, can you tell Dess (Dior) about it, let’s
do something. She was like yeah. She hit up Dess, I hit up Dess too and we just made it happen.
