Joeboy, the stage name of Nigerian artist Joseph Akinfenwa Donus, has admitted he wishes he were “more arrogant.”

He said sometimes he feels he should be boastful about his musical achievements because people often take his calmness for granted.

The ‘Baby’ crooner stated this on his new podcast, Body & Soul.

Joeboy said: “What could I have done different? I would say, be more arrogant [laughs]. Because you people don’t have respect. When you are always calm they go just feel like say you are not that guy or something. It’s crazy, but it is what it is.

“I felt I should have been more loud about my achievements because, to be honest, una no reach. But it is what it is. We grow and we learn. That’s one thing I wish I had done then; which I’m going to do now.”
