In an interview with Zionfelix on February 10, 2025, he revealed that his decision was influenced by multiple incidents of poor compensation, including his experience with rapper Amerado.

"This is one of the reasons I stopped shooting music videos. The pay is poor, yet they still expect you to deliver your best," KayPeevibez stated.

He recalled how he played a key role in shaping Amerado’s Yeti Nsem series during the lockdown, handling everything from concept creation to visuals. However, despite his contributions, he said the rapper's management later offered him just GH¢300 for his work.

"A lot of things happened, which is why I left his camp. We started together, and when money started coming in, his team brought a contract stating that they were going to pay me GH¢300. I couldn't accept that," he explained.

KayPeevibez disclosed that he began filming Yeti Nsem using his own equipment, with an understanding that he would handle Amerado’s visuals as the rapper’s career advanced. However, he claims the agreement was not honored.

"I started Yeti Nsem with my equipment. They bought their own cameras in the third month of filming. Before we began, I told Amerado that I wanted to push him, and when he became famous, I would handle his music videos.

"But later, they sidelined me. They brought in another director to shoot his first official music video and then hired a different director for his second video with Okyeame Kwame. That’s when I knew it was time to walk away," he added.

Disappointed by the experience, KayPeevibez has now decided to step away from music video production altogether.
