An artist who made an artwork of Akin Alabi and his late mentor Abiola Ajimobi got more than he bargained from the politician when he asked twitter users for a retweet of the work. Akin Alabi bluntly replied to the artist that he doe not like the work, even though the request to retweet was meant for others and not him. What is your take on this drawing?

There has been a barrage of attacks on the betting executive for being so harsh on an upcoming artist who probably needed his encouragement. Several twitter users said his silence would have been better than putting down the efforts of the artist in such a manner.

Funny enough...I don't know why "Thank You" is so hard for some people to say atleast for the time the guy used to draw him.

Some people's ego can't be measured

For the young bloods..just know it that ➡️Being criticized can be a tough thing to handle...even though it sometimes can be very useful to help you grow or improve something you do...Keep pushing

Damnnnnn niggarrr
Isoright

So na crime now to air your view abi

The man say him nor like am period

Guyman no get money to dash anybody..

@akinalabi animal in human skin

y

I don't like it too

He would have just said something to encourage the lad instead of being blunt


But sincerely some Artists just dey use this style they make money...Draw a Top personality and once it gets to the person... Something gats drop

After AkinAlabi won the Federal consistency seat... Baba no send us for nairaland again

Why are people even doing this,


u make a free work for some popular person,
just so you can get what?? money or recognition



Even if I be davinci I won't make a free art for Donald trump




It's fuccking pay before service..


dumb fuccck


*modified*
stop quoting me Biko

I offer services to people, so I know what I'm saying,

if you know your onions and your worth,
u no need to impress or get recognition from any body


just drop samples and make it trend with hash tags,
na ppl go de beg u,


That guy de find short cut and got what he deserves

Dull brain, must you talk in everything? if you don't like it, then you keep quiet.

I believe he reserves the right to either like it or hate it. It is his portrait for christ sake. Moreover that shit doesn't look like him that much. It looks more like him when he's way older! Like when he is 60 years old and artwork make him look fat like a greedy politician that he probably is so I guess guilty conscience catch am.

He's right.
The artwork doesn't look like him.

The art work makes Akin Alabi looks malnourished

He is just honest

H

May be because the artist turned his head like tolotolo.

Choi, but I honestly like the picture more than the original one posted first.

God bless the artist for this wonderful hand work, may you meet your helper (Amen).

This alabi needs 100 strokes of cain, instead of him to commend him and just move on, he's saying gibberish.

Sometimes a word of encouragement is what some people need to start moving on.

But he should at least appreciate and encourage

He spoke his mind, he doesn't have any sugar to add.




Freedom of speech and conscience remember...




For goodness sake, don't draw me with a dead man, the dead got nothing to do with the Living .I rest my capping.

Pride

Save ur pride for ur political opponents

Akin Alabi is made... So this isn't about him.
This is a test of the artists attitude, I dunno how, but however he takes those words could have a huge impact on his hustle.

I'll personally like him to further ask what oloye likes and work on his drawing.

No natter how your work fine for your eyes, if customer no like am them no go buy.

He just said his mind. Not everyone know how to go with the crowd, especially on personal issues and that is rare golden gift that the crowd will always persecute you for, so no surprise here.

Maybe he wasn't in a good mood and the picture doesn't really look so great

Is it by force to like something you don't like?

Akin Alabi did not behave maturely here.

He doesnt like it. He has his personal reasons.

A thank you would have been more appropriate and DM the artist over his not liking it rather than openly deflating his self-confidence.
