He claims that it is Frieza's problem, not his own.

Unfortunately for Frieza, the baby boy in the escape pod grows up to become Goku, the series protagonist. He eventually crosses path with Frieza himself when the latter attacks the planet Namek. They engage in a long battle, the end of which sees Goku as the victor after attaining the legendary Super Saiyon form.
