The record producer shared the photos of some uncompleted playgrounds on his Instagram revealing he had intended on adding finishing touches before opening it, but his father insisted that his mother would be the one cutting the ribbon before she had to fly back to London.

The emcee plans on adding more to playground, hoping that ultimately, children from the village will be inspired to “get into activities and maybe find talents they never knew they had.”

He wrote alongside the picture, "Me and my Dad been talking about making a place for the children to play in his village in Nigeria. He sent me these pics and my heart is smiling, I told him to wait for me to come and add the finishing touches but he wanted my Mum to open it before she flew to London tomorrow haha, sweet boy ting. Safe journey Mum. Love."
