Adding, “I saw somebody the other day making fun, ‘Ukimuuliza atasema ni God. (If you ask, they will say it is God)’. I’m like, you laugh. At the end of the day, it is the truth. And I always say this, my God has always come through for me. And it is important to know what relationship you have with your God. How do you talk to your God? Which kind of relationship do you have with your God? So I’m grateful. I always say you cannot fight with my God. You can’t. So yeah. Small girl, big God.”
