In a recent interview with the Hiplife Icon he said he is thrilled that the Black Stars have he is an avid supporter of the Ghana National Team and is honored that they like his music he added the message of the song is having hope and not giving up on your dreams.

Comments a delighted Tic Tac, 'It was so cool to be able to be part of this MTV base Video Workshop project. Having a director like Gil Green to make a video for me is something that I could never have made happen on my own.  Having your video played on MTV base is what we have always aimed for  and knowing that the whole of Africa will see it is a dream come true.'

Added Alex Okosi, GM and VP, MTV Networks Africa, 'Kangaroo was shot in August 2006 as part of MTV base's unique Making the Video initiative, which aims to share best practice and forge collaborations between local artists and directors and top international video crews. We're delighted by the results of the project which has created a compelling, high quality and polished video that does full justice to the vision and artistry of Tic Tac.'

It was an eye opener and I really enjoyed the process of teaching the class and collaborating as a group to direct the Tic Tac video. I'm really looking forwards to see 'Making The Video - Tic Tac; I'm really interested to see how it turned out.  I just finished shooting with Akon in Miami, for his next single 'Don't Matter', but I'm looking forwards to being involved in other African projects.'
