βI was discovered through Instagram, I actually did a trap freestyle. That day I was supposed to do an Afrobeat/street pop style song but I was like yo, I wanna do a trap freestyle song. I posted on my Instagram when I was done and I was like yo, thatβs cool.Β Couple weeks later, I was in my workshop cause I was a mechanic then I got a DM from Sydney Talkerβ
Khaid stated that people never believe him when he tells them what he did before debuting into the Nigerian music space.
He went ahead to state how elated he was discovering that Sydney Talker appreciated his freestyle post; comparing how he viewed the founder of Neville Records/comedian to Davido at that moment.
Khaid has released two major bangers since his debut into the music scene β With You and Jolie, which have turned out to be internet sensations and Tiktok blasts.
