"I cannot do another album until late next year. I give my all when I compile an album, that’s why I won’t rush into another album project."[5] In November 2012, he released a music video for his song "Adisia".[6]

Apart from his successful music career, Kaka is also a businessman and in early September 2015 he launched his purified water company known as Kaka Empire's Majik Water[7] using his music brand name as the official name of the product.
