For Yakub Sodiq Opeyemi also known as Yakiss, making music alone does not seem to be his only passion as he appears to be concerned about giving Nigerians hope when it comes to humanitarian services.
Yakiss who is touted to be one of the most talked-about afro beat rising stars hinted that while he loves to give people music, he equally wants to share his time, resources and love with the downtrodden, who according to him deserve much love from society.
According to the Kolobi crooner, he has been engaged in a number of humanitarian services through his platform, one that caters for the needy and those whose means of livelihood may have been threatened because of certain challenges.
Speaking about how he wants to keep impacting lives outside music, Yakiss also disclosed that he and his team will continue to advocate a better life for poor and less privileged Nigerians, among whom are people living with disabilities and other related health issues.
“This is one of the ways we can touch the lives of the people outside our core music calling. Reaching out to the people and showing them love through different means of humanitarian services and sharing love should remind us all that we are not better than them but we are lucky to be in a better place,” he added.
