Afrobeats singer Kingsley Okonkwo, popularly known as Kcee, has shed light on the mindset that has sustained his long-running success in the Nigerian music industry, attributing it to an unshakeable commitment to consistency and a deeply rooted belief in positive thinking.
Speaking on the Selah Meditate podcast, the “Limpopo” hitmaker said he approaches music differently from many of his peers. Rather than becoming discouraged by slow moments or songs that fail to gain traction, he focuses on producing more work.
Kcee noted that flooding the studio with new material increases the chances of landing a hit, adding that he is never deterred by the numbers. “I can drop 22 songs—maybe it is the 25th one that will become a hit,” he said. “I don’t care because consistency is key.”
The singer also highlighted the role of positive manifestation in shaping his journey. He recalled a period when he and his brother, businessman E-Money, lived in Ajegunle but regularly spoke their dreams into existence.
“When me and E-Money were living in Ajegunle, if you asked us where we were living, we would say Ikeja,” he recounted. “We weren’t pretending—we were prophesying into the future. And that was where we eventually moved to, and we dominated it.”
Kcee added that maintaining optimism, even during difficult times, has helped him push through challenges and ultimately achieve his goals.
