mhizzbaybii: They said he sings majorly in Yoruba and Yorubas are shouting. Is every thing tribalism to y’all? It’s more like you don’t even want him to win. His fans are pointing his weakness for correction, improvement etc. Nigeria is vase, y’all have to understand that. Phyno and flavor? Those one seems like people after y’all awards? Be reasonable naw.
