He also claimed that Iyanya jumped on the song just to gain popularity in East Africa. The Kenyan act said that Sauti Sol who is from Kenya is facing the same situation as his song with Iyanya 'Sura Yako' remix hardy gets played in Nigeria.

Jaguar went on to complain about Iyanya's diva like demands. He said that Iyanya insisted the video was shot in Nigeria and by Clarence Peters. Jaguar agreed for the video to be shot in Nigeria, but didn't bow to Iyanya's demand that Clarence Peter shoot the video. The 'One Centimeter' remix was directed by a Kenyan director by the name of Thome.
