Ugandan artist Ykee Benda has opened up on his frustration about working with Nigerian artists, noting that he will never work with them again, unless they approach him.

In an interview with Galaxy FM, Ykee Benda said he closed the chapter of seeking for collaboration with Nigerian artists because most of them  leave all the promotional work to Ugandans who struggle to push the song.

"I can officially tell you it's not worth it. I closed that chapter. I would rather collaborate with Ugandan artists all the way. Nigerians will only get from me when they come but I'll never go to them again," Ykee Benda  said.

In the same interview, he gave an example of the Sheebah - Orezi's link up on 'Sweet Sensation' which he says was a huge success because each artist did their best to push the song in their respective countries.

"Orezi put in all his energy and the song blew. If you check, it is still Sheebah's biggest song going by digital numbers. They can make you blow if they push you," Ykee Benda opined.

In 2018, Ykee Benda worked with Reekado Banks on Time Table which didn't get that much deserved airplay.
