Miss Gina Promotes: We have noticed you are now into video directing. Does that mean you have forgone music?

Miss Gina Promotes: Does your record label ”OTANTIK” still exists, considering we haven’t heard from no one of your artists? 

Yung Time: I released Hololo under Otantik. Given that, It exists. Plus I am preparing my artist to start releasing soon.

Miss Gina Promotes: What are your thoughts about Cameroonian Award shows/ platforms? 

Yung Time: Most of them Promote or nominate what they want to be instead of what is. Maybe cos of friendly relations and all. But I really try not focusing on them as they don’t represent a source of income for my label.

Miss Gina Promotes: How do you handle negative press or comments?  

Yung Time: I used to be moved. But then people are opinionated and there’s nothing one can do about it. As long as am financially stable and my fans are pleased. The rest is in the wind.

Miss Gina Promotes: What’s your prospective about the Cameroon Entertainment Industry? 

Yung Time: We should focus On REALISTICALLY taking decisions that can raise incomes for everyone. Anything else can properly move from there.

Miss Gina Promotes: What advice will you give anyone who wants to persuade music? 

Yung Time: Decision making is the most important thing to consider. Far above talent.

Miss Gina Promotes: What are your pet peeves and tell us 5 things so many people don’t know about you. 

Yung Time: The industry focuses on some wrong things.

People hate to see anyone confident and not needing help. Noticing all of this, I chose to build myself all round. 

So I can make a living without going through people. I am going into other business ventures such as Pigery. Plus am rounding up with my masters degree this year.

Miss Gina Promotes: If you were asked to kiss/slap/marry either Blanche Bailly, Mihney or Askia for 10 million francs, who will you Kiss, Slap Or Marry?

Yung Time: I cant slap any tho. But I can kiss and marry any.

Miss Gina Promotes: Do you have any word of advice for those looking up to you? 

Yung Time: Money first, Decision making second.
