This achievement seems to have thrown the Zanku singer off guard as he went on Instagram to drop an emotional message to talk about his journey as an artist and to also, show his appreciation to not just the award organizers but also to his fans who took his name to the height it is presently at and voted for him to see this win.

He said;
