Interview: King Foye Advocates for Societal Upliftment Through Music

R&B artist Morounfoye Moroundiya, popularly known as King Foye, is advocating for a shift in the music industry towards using artists’ platforms to uplift society rather than promoting negative influences like crime and drug use.

With a career spanning 25 years, King Foye has observed a trend where many artists believe that content centered around such negative themes garners popularity.

However, he argues that this leads to only temporary relevance in the industry.

In an interview with Valid View Network, King Foye stresses the enduring impact of songs that address societal issues or promote peace.
