Wretch 32: 'Money and fame mean nothing unless you're inspiring people'

'Unorthodox' hitmaker Wretch 32 has admitted that he would continue his career in the music industry even if it didn't pay well because the feeling he gets from writing a song that touches another person is priceless.

Speaking to Blunt Talking about his success, the star explained that fame and success isn't as important as being told that one of his lyrics "means so much" to a stranger and that's what motivates him to keep going:

"When people are like, 'I can't believe he just said that', or 'that was sick'. Or 'that lyric touched me'. 'That means so much to me because I'm going through the same thing', stuff like that. It shows that someone can be with you on a journey through your whole life," he added.

Wretch 32 also explained that sometimes he collaborates with smaller 'up and coming' artists out of the love and passion for music because he goes into a project with the knowledge that they won't be able to pay the usual high fee for his creative input:

"They're on the come up and I know they don’t have that 10k or 15k to spend on a verse so that is strictly out of the love. Does everybody understand that? I don’t know.”
