Marques Houston is busy promoting his new album and in an interview, the singer shared that he is tired of hia music not being appreciated.

“I’m speaking my truth on how I feel like I’ve been treated as an artist and the things that I’ve done throughout my career. I’ve been called underrated more than I’ve been called successful,” he said of his album track, “Tired of Hollywood.”

“I’m just tired of it all. Now as a man, I don’t need it either. I’m happy where I’m at, I’m financially stable, I have a great family and I don’t need it. That song really speaks volumes to me as a person and as an artist,” he told PEOPLE.

On Friday, the rapper dropped his new project, The Best Worst Year.

Last year, the singer spoke out about rumors circulating the internet that his relationship with his now-wife, Miya Houston, started when she was just a minor.

He married Miya when she was 19. He was 38 at the time.

“Me and my wife’s situation is a little different… how we met through mutual friends and everything like that. When I met my wife, she was 17. We had no, really, conversation and no, really, connection until she was of age…” he said. “People don’t understand it. And, of course, I got a lot of backlash for marrying someone that was 19. And, you know, when we did finally start to talk, I was like, ‘This woman is like me’.”
