see interview below
INTERVIEWER_ good day sir,my name is nkechi welcome to the spotlight on city news magazine.can we meet you
MONEYBAGZ_my name is #moneybagz, real name Kenneth Bissong Charles a graduate of theatre and media studies from the university of calabar and a recording artist with stackemoney entertainment.
INTERVIEWER _okay.you are a graduate and a recording artist,thats great..so tell us,when did you start music or when did you discover your musical talent?
MONEYBAGZ_ saying is started music when I was a child is a cliché but truth be told,I mimed every single song my mum and neighbours played when I was a little boy. From the likes of Peter tosh,lucky dube, d doves ,Eric Donaldson ,Bob marly,2pac name them.i did this until my pears got me a name (oyabekpata ),meaning fast grabber,And anybody who knew my growing up days can attest to that.then I never found the name funny because their intentions then were mockery intended to downcast me so that's how much I can say as to when I discovered my musical side.
INTERVIEWER_ Wow ! Such an imaginable plus an interesting start up for you there.did you observe I couldn't stop you? Not many had it this real if you ask me. I interview artists a lot and the popular line they all have in common is the "it all started in church when I was in choir ". I must confess your musical backdrop and background is formidable ,not many of this new artist know or listen to such people. You tapped from people who's music had content and is all time relevant. So when did you start music professionally ? Like when you dropped your first single.
MONEYBAGZ _ Funny enough,I can't count the days of freestyling on used beats as the time I started music professionally cause if I do that would be as early as 2004/2005/2006. So to the amazement of many,the first time I jumped on a cooked beat was on a song titled akponosi by my friend Mr siju osb in West studios calabar. Personally my first single was and still is "Not Anymore"
INTERVIEWER _ ok, from all you have said,your first single was ,and still is Not Anymore. Can you give us a little insight on the track not anymore?
MONEYBAGZ_ HAAAAA. I knew this day will surely come but such is life so, I will tell you exactly what inspired the song.
Way back I had a relationship or was in a relationship,I had it all rosey until one day I cheated on my girl.. on that faithful day ,It was hell cloudy and I was 101% sure my girl wasn't coming around at least not under such weather.it wasn't long when it started raining heavily so I was relaxed,just when I got into the groove,here comes the knock on my door.i was like who's there? I heard it's *******,pls open the door.pls keep in mind at this time she already knew there was a girl inside because the said girl left her shoes outside so i couldn't open the door.number 1 I was already caught in the act.2 what would have been more devastating was if i had opened the door for her to see the girl that was inside because it it was her friend . after knocking for long to no avail she had to leave under the rain and never came back.so when the girl I was inside the house with left my house,i made up my mind she wasn't coming to my house again(not anymore ). So the next time she came to my house ,knocked on my door and i asked who was there and she responded she was the one ,i told her i don't want again (I no want do again ).she kept knocking and my friend met her outside and asked me to open up, but i asked him to tell her to get out of my door.
That's how the single Notanymore came about.
INTERVIEWER _ MEEEHHHHNN moneybagz you are full of drama, do you understand you just narrated a full length movie?.. i see why the lyrics are so deep and the mood so emotional.so you loosed both of them?
MONEYBAGZ _yeah I did. Dumb me thinking I was being smart.
INTERVIEWER _ great idea, great concept,gre song and great delivery. . So tell us about your most controversial, most sold out tune (In your own words) that took the south by storm .YMIH_YOUR_MOTHER_IS_HUNGRY,that's my second favourite song after I wish..so tell us about it.
MONEYBAGZ _singing versaci versaci your wearing versaci your mother is hungry? Oloshi......"your mother is hungry" is my most popular song and my most accepted single so far and I know why.
INTERVIEWER __I see,that's when an artist intentionally puts out a song and the public accepts it the same way. So tell us why you feel the song has such acceptance .
MONEYBAGZ __ It's simple. The song talks about what we all think but don't talk about, so when #moneybagz finally talked about it? Everybody goes "it's true!" ,that's why the song broke out even in a recessed economy. I'll let the listeners be the judge.
INTERVIEWER _ you've heard it all from this great guy #moneybagz .Google and download "your mother is hungry"..ladies and gentlemen MONEYBAGZ!.
trust me I had such a great time with you #moneybagz and most definitely will love to do this again.
