Controversy
In 2018, Fameica fought over a song he collaborated on with actress/singer Hellen Lukoma and refused to appear in the music video. He had a violent confrontation with rival hip hop artist Feffe Bbusi over a woman that escalated into fighting between the artists' managements. In 2018 Fameica staged a show at Kyadondo Rugby Grounds that flopped due to overpriced tickets. This is said to have caused the split with his management Kama Ivien.
Recognition
Fameica received his first international nomination with Khaligraph Jones Sarkodie in the 2018 Nigeria Entertainment Awards in the category of Best Male Artist Non-Nigerian/Africa.
