Asked if he would be doing gospel music, he said, “My music is timeless and that’s why I’m a star in America. To make good music, it has to be timeless. I do not fit into any particular genre of music and it is God that gave me that gift. The music industry now is populated by young boys and I’m happy about that.”

Recall that recently, he slammed a N100m suit against singer Timi Dakolo over copyright infringement on one of his songs. But when asked if he still has plans to sue the ‘Iyawo Mi’ crooner, the Rainmaker said, “That issue is pending for now. I spoke with Timi personally and I don’t want to go into that anymore, I don’t want to stop young people from growing. He is a nice boy who is still growing and I have decided to leave him alone. Personally, I like him and I think he is a God-fearing person but he was played and duped by some people. Timi even told us that he paid those guys extra and I was not aware of all the transactions. However, it’s important for Timi and other artistes to learn the lesson that they have to go through proper channels when they want to do things like this.”
On his relationship with his family members now, he said, “I still spoke with my first son, Randy, this morning and he is doing very well in America. My second son, Destiny, is also doing well. My last born is still a teenager and he is doing very well in school. My first son is married to a Japanese lady while the second is married to a Spaniard and they’re all doing great with children. I’m a proud grandfather.”
When asked about his wife, he noted: “I will rather not talk about that. My family life is private.”
On whether his family abandoned him during his travails (drug rehabilitation}, he said, “All families have ups and downs but the important thing is that I’m doing great now. I don’t feel comfortable talking about my family though. I speak with my children every day and that should tell you I have a good relationship with them. All human beings experience ups and downs; it is part of life.”
Fashek also turned down the question of who actually sponsored his rehabilitation. The issue caused a lot of controversy when he was confined to a rehab centre in Abuja.

He further stated that he has no measures put in place to make sure he does not have a relapse, as “There is nothing like relapse. I keep saying it that my problem was never about drugs though I smoked marijuana back in the days. Anybody can also drink and be tipsy; it is not a crime anywhere in the world. My problem was more spiritual, my problem started when I first returned to Nigeria from America. I came into the country with lots of money and equipment then and I started having issues.”
On what his daily routine is like now, he said “I am working on my video right now so I usually go round looking for good locations. Yeah, I start my days with devotions in the morning and I also work out at the gym.”
