This is coming several months after Joeboy, in an interview, said 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.
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.”
Joeboy in 2023, revealed he was almost arrested and stopped from performing in Saint Lucia.
The ‘Alcohol’ crooner was billed to perform at an event in the Caribbean island nation, but his performance was cancelled midway into the show.
He explained that he was prevented from performing because his disc jockey used vulgar language.
The 25-year-old said he and his team were not informed about the existence of such a law in the country.
