“Last night was fire! It was amazing to see Amidu Ellan Monjeza sing my songs so well. My retirement may be soon ” Lawi jokingly said.

Lawi further said that Malawians should anticipate more good music from Ellan who is currently doing his studies at the University of Malawi (UNIMA).

He said, ” Ellan is such a gifted  artist and he’s got the patience for it too. The music you have heard from him is good but the music he hasn’t released yet is even more impressive. He’s going to do very well, be on the look out for his new music.”

Meanwhile, the ‘Udikirebe’ hit-maker has thanked Lawi for the love and support and promised his fans that they should anticipate more music from him.
