Spyda MC has opened up about the reality behind the success of his breakthrough song “Emikisa,” revealing that despite becoming a massive hit on TikTok and mainstream media, it did not earn him the financial rewards he had hoped for.Speaking in an interview with Galaxy TV, the singer admitted that while the song transformed his public profile and introduced him to a wider audience, it failed to translate into significant income. He explained that music gave him visibility and helped him establish himself, but the financial opportunities he expected never materialized.It widened my spaces to position myself, but I didn’t get enough money. Sometimes we have expectations, but if you don’t meet them, you become disappointed. I had hoped the song would bring me different opportunities in the corporate world and more, but I never got them.He also noted that many people still identify him solely through “Emikisa,” often expressing surprise when they discover he has released more music.

He said he refuses to let disappointment consume him, adding that he would never turn to online fundraising because he considers himself mentally strong enough to keep pushing forward. @galaxytv_ug I didn’t even make money from my hit song ‘Emikisa’, it wasn’t appreciated enough in the corporate world. I’m surprised fans only know that one song of mine. — Spyda MC #JikonkoneRewind ♬ original sound – Galaxy TV 𝐉𝐢𝐤𝐨𝐧𝐤𝐨𝐧𝐞!
