Ok tell me why you’re going to Burna’s concert if you are loved at home, you are getting disrespected over your hard earned money and time, by one mumu overhyped artiste.”
@abiolaomobaba also wrote: “Sometimes when he talks in real life, I genuinely start doubting if he writes his own songs cause how can someone drop lyrics like a genius but speak like a man whose brain is on flight mode?”
