He also noted that most Nigerians do not know that his father used to live in the USA to come and perform in Nigeria before passing away.
Speaking on the rivalry between his dad and Ayinla Kollington, Barry Showkey claimed that it is was absolutely nothing but just a marketing strategy that time as they were good friend. He noted that he used to be with his father Barrister and Kollington back them, noting that the act of berating each other was intentional and a way to market their song, a development that left Teju babyface in a shocked state.
