In an exclusive interview with Republic World, Naezy revealed some interesting facts about his life as well as the rap culture of India. When asked if his inspiration to write music has changed after having the taste of success, the Aafat singer replied, "When I began writing songs, I had a lot of motivation and inspiration. I used to write and work from my heart. Now that I have fame and money, why do I need to work hard? But I still work hard to improve my art. As days pass, the artist tends to evolve. They change but not their writing. I’m trying to keep my writing the same i.e the way I used to write before. Although now, my motivations and inspirations-  come and go. When I have things and I am happy, I don’t have motivations and inspirations. If I don’t have anything and I am sad, I’m motivated and inspired. It’s a quality of human being. So, I’m trying to develop this. But motivations and inspiration do come to me. I feel like I’ve to do something."

Later on, when asked if the rap scene of India is dependant on Bollywood, Naezy replied that the rap scene of India is not dependant on Bollywood. He added, "If it was, then we’ve brought forth a change. But I think it was independent and had gone beyond Bollywood. Rap was distinct scene from Bollywood. Our rap scene is not dependent on Bollywood."
