The rapper Octopizzo has opened up about the challenges of fame, revealing why he now spends most of his time abroad. The rapper, who shot to fame over a decade ago with his hit song 'Namba Nane', says that fame no longer excites him the way it once did.

“Most people think being famous is exciting. At first, when people start recognising you, it feels good. But over time, fame became a burden. There comes a point where it slowly robs you of your peace,” he says.
