It ended of course with that I lost my apartment and car and everything, because I couldn't keep track of something. There came my wakeup call. I could risk losing my daughter, and I could not cope, he says, and continues:

I have always been a bit big city compared to sign me to the 'X Factor', for I come from the underground, and in the hiphop environment, I move in, it is not so unwelcome to join the 'X Factor', but I thought, 'Fuck it - now I take the chance', and I'm glad. I don't care what others say and think, he says, and adds:
- For 'the X Factor' has been a really great experience for me.
