Good on him for remaining relevant. Many were one hit wonders who we can’t remember their names or hits today. Some reign for four years, ten at most. He’s still going strong and has support from the masses. Wizkid too.

He is using controversy to make himself relevant, not music. Not everybody is interested in controversy just to be relevant.
