YCEE also talks about beef with vector.

How would you describe your own genre of music, rap, pop, RnB?
I’m a rapper. Music is too big to say you just want to nominate yourself to one genre. It gets boring when one day you record rap song and the next day you record another rap song. It is refreshing when you can do rap and RnB and afro beat the other day. It is good to think outside the box and move out of your conference zone.

Should your fans be expecting an EP or Album from Ycee anytime soon?
I have plans to put out an EP. It all depends on how the demand is by that time. If the demand is really high, then I will put out an album, because that is a lot more profitable. Everybody wants to have an album. A lot of people are asking me to pull out an album; it all comes down to my label and management.

We all know that your target audience are the young people, would you ever think do a song for the older generation?
Yes definitely. I have even recorded a couple of songs. It is not just about appealing to the young audience, music is vast, and you can’t just keep on doing the same thing.

You made headlines on blogs regarding a beef between you and rapper, Vector, after the Headies awards, what actually went down between you two?
I have been doing a lot of interviews recently and the question just keep popping out. The thing about that was sometime last year before I pulled out Jagaban, I posted something on my social media page. It was not like I was dissing Vector. A lot of people greeted that with mixed feelings and thought I was trying to gain cheap publicity. Eventually, I had to take it down. When he received the award that night at the Headies, he said something about the producer of King Kong losing out an award to the guy that produced Jagaban at another award show. A lot of people said he was throwing shade at me, the post from eight month surfaces online that Ycee ditches vector. I think it all comes down to lazy bloggers who are trying to gain cheap attention, and I always tell people that before they say anything, they should always try to make proper research. It didn’t help my image because a lot of people came at me on social media that I’m a hater. In essence, Vector and I are cool personally. The whole Headies thing everybody was just in that mood for beef, nobody wanted to find out if this was what actually happened, and a lot of people didn’t see that the picture behind him was an old picture. Everybody knows I’m a peaceful person.

Let’s talk about the tattoo on your body, it was so obvious and look so cute?
Ever since I was in primary school, I always use marker and stuff to draw on my body. When I got old enough and I was on my own, I summoned courage to get my own tattoo.

Is your mum not angry about it?
When I got my first tattoo, I was able to hide it for a long time before she finally saw it and by the time she saw it, I had already gotten more tattoo.

How many do you have?
I have like seven to eight from my shoulder, lower arm, my chest and so on.

Do you have plans to have more?
Yes definitely, I’m on break for now.

Take the music from Ycee, who is Ycee?
Ycee is a believer. I tend to see the good in people. You can’t take music away from Ycee. Even if I wasn’t a musician, music will still be part of me. Even if I wasn’t a performing artiste, I think one way or the other, I would have still found my way into music industry.

Are you in a relationship?
Yes, I’m in a relationship with my music.
  
What are the qualities you tend to see in a lady and wife material?
She has to be friendly, beautiful. She has to be very presentable, God fearing, and very understanding because the career I have chosen comes with rough publicity and all the scandals and all that, so she has to be very understanding.

How do you intend to keep off scandal?
I just have to keep to myself, keep my opinion to myself. The best way is to keep to myself. The way you see something is not the way other people see it. I will just keep to myself and be doing my music.

What do you have in stock for this year?
International collaborations, more videos and more hit because everybody is asking after Jagaban, what next? They just want to see the next move I’m going to make, so every release I’m putting out has to be massive.
