SMART APPAREL LINE (charity and tourism aim)
The ARTISTRY figure launched an apparel line that objects to catering for the welfarism of the orphanage. He believes in this doctrine because he called himself a grown orphan. He said, "The difference between me and those children at the orphange is little. I lost my mom to the cold hands of death but I was all grown before this tragedy. I still feel that emptiness in my soul, but what can a young man do? I moved on. But can this children move on without external supports? No. This was why me and my team (@CrystalsMediatv) took it upon ourselves to launch a #SmartShirt and #SmartCap. The proceeds from the sales goes to orphanage course He tag his apparel smart (SMART SHIRTS AND SMART CAPS) because the moment any item is being purchased 30% of the proceeds goes directly into orphanage courses (10% orphanage upkeep and 20% would be channelled into tourism tourism). He already did the #GimmeLove Volume 1 and 2. Sold out. But needs a rightful investor who can respond to surplus demand. The shirt features 2 silhouettes because it is in 2 volumes ( Gimme Love Volume 1 , and Gimme Love Volume 2).
The 20% is aimed at boosting tourism
Also at the right arm of the shirt features FELA ANIKULAPO KUTI's quote (the secret of life is to have no fear).

JUNGLE JUSTICE
Also, K-Merit recently kicked off his campaign against jungle justice. where he took some made up, yet gruesome pictures at the Unilorin Zoo. He said "I decided to take those picture in the zoo, because the king of the jungle (lion) predates for survival, so why are we humans so foolish to kill ourselves for the sake of ignorance. Africa legislative arms need reformation. Earlier we said colonialism deprived us, but now we are killing ourselves with archaic ideas. There should be a strict law that would make everyone knows that we all matter". He wrote a tribute for the #Aluu4 victims too.

The Bi-lingual artiste also stressed that he is currently working on a French song. You can get K-merit songs "Gimme Love" and "Call me john torrio" on all digital platforms (iTunes, Spotify, MTN musicplus, Tidal, et al). The previous is a Reggae song flavored with Jamaica Patoise, and later is a Trap/HipHop. The lyrics to the songs are also on genius, metrolyrics e.t.c.
