Music executive Soso Soberekon has revealed how Iyanya was discovered by KCee years ago in Calabar, Cross River State and how the Limpopo singer played a key role in the Kukere master’s journey to stardom
Soberekon, a former music producer and KCee’s ex-manager made this revelation during a live chat with media personality Daddy Freeze.
During the conversation, he also put KCee on a phone call to confirm the story.
According to Soberekon, Iyanya was hosting a karaoke show in Calabar when KCee spotted him, walked up to him, and offered to take him to Lagos to pursue his music career.
We had to meet his parents for approval before he could travel with us,” KCee recalled. “We were already at the airport when he called to say his parents had finally agreed because they initially refused.
Soberekon further disclosed that after winning Project Fame West Africa in 2008, Iyanya lived in KCee’s house for four years, sleeping on the couch due to limited space.
He slept on the couch for four years because there was no extra room at the time. KCee’s family was living in the house, so the only available space was the couch, he wrote two songs for Kcee Presh then and both were produced by me,” he explained.
