Pallaso further noted that artists will only benefit if the fund administrators maintain high levels of integrity and transparency especially when distributing the money.

As to whether he is eagerly awaiting for his portion of the money, Pallaso noted that his main focus at the moment is to bless his fans with more music.

"As long as my music gets to the people; that's all I care about. About the money, God will provide but for now, I'm looking at blessing my fans with back to back music. If this money gets to me, I will be glad because everyone is looking for money but at the end of the day; with or without this money, I will go on. The only capital I have is my talent," Pallaso told Spark TV.
