Speaking to The New Times, R Tuty said that after his Belgium launch, he will also give a chance to his fans in Rwanda through organising of homecoming shows.

"I will launch it in Bruxelle, the capital of Belgium. The preparations are in advanced stages, and I hope to make this a much better launch. After the launch, I am planning to come back to Rwanda in February to give a chance to my Rwandan fans and other music lovers to enjoy my music,” he said.
