During the interview, Waje was asked "What would you say is the highest point of your career so far?" to which she said:

I was going to be confused about that question but thank the Lord I am not. I think the high point is going to be in December. I know you're asking what was the high point, what has been the high point so far. But for what I've been trying to achieve, I've gotten to a point where it's about legacy, not just the money we will make. Not just to be on the top charts. But the legacy that we leave behind. So that high point is going to be on the 30th of December because I will be releasing a third album and I will be breaking a record. Because it's three albums in five months and 10 days. So Guinness Book of World Records is going to give me my certificate and then my price is going to go up, and you then cannot call me without putting 'ma'.

"You're set to break a new record. How do you feel?"

Well, this was management's idea and when I heard it the first time, I was like hmmm, I don't know how I felt the first time. I was just like okay? Why do I want to break a record? Of what value is it to me? But then eventually when we were done and dotted our Is and crossed our Ts, I realized that it's very important for every brand, whether you're a musician or whatever you do, it's important that even you put measures to your career on what you want to be remembered for. And so that made it bring value in my mind because you see, as much as I am a brand who is going to do this till she's 70 like the Aretha Franklins who came before me, I also want to be able to leave a legacy for my children. And people don't understand that data is crude. They think it's just the money that you make now. I'm going to meetings with labels who want to buy or lease my content. So content is crude, content is key. Which is why we are focusing on this. This is legacy for us. But outside that, it's - I don't want to say it's all we're using it for cuz I feel like - it's money. For me, that's an icing on the cake. Because you want people that work with you to be blessed after working with you. And we're such a transparent brand. Even with royalties and publishing, we try to be honest with everyone that's part of the team because we know that we're going to break bread and when it's time to break bread, I will give you small.
