He mentioned that his exit from Sol Generation is going to be a smooth transition.

“We have found ways of making a very smooth transition into me being independent and I have my own team.

"Considering everything that I have learned at Sol Generation I feel like I’m ready to handle my own empire and make sure I take care of other artistes on the way.

“I feel like I’m in a better place and I really want to be on my own- work on my life, my career, and everything," Bensoul said.

Bensoul was officially introduced as a Sol Generation signee back in February 2019.
