I blame the young man who drew him and other personality to curry favor.

Same manner young musician rush to studio during election to sing praise politicians just for peanut, most of them get nothing at the end.

Love him or hate him, that "harsh" criticism may just be the wake up call that will push the artist to perfection.

I saw no resemblance of the intended subjects in that picture. Who knows, the artist may be surrounding by those that ALWAYS praised his works to high heavens. If not, he wouldn't share this online. The work simply DOES NOT resemble Akin in no way.

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
Thank you for a bad job? Criticism is part of life....embrace it

I will be honest. The picture doesn't look like him. This is not the first time he will be getting this kinda random art work so he is just being plain truthful and truth hurts. The artist needs to just swallow it and move and if can come up with something better, he can give it a shot.

That's the more reason why the word "but" is made available.

He should atleast thank the dude and add the word but.

For example ➡️ Thank you but I really don't like it thoo.

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

You are very wrong.

Leonardo DaVinci and his peers actually made portraits for wealthy and famous people without being asked so that they can be commissioned and become their patrons i.e someone who places you on a regular stipend or salary.

That was the way artists of those days made their earnings before they got their very huge projects that made them a bit independent of their patron.

The artist can use that criticism as a motivation to become world-class. Sympathy never brings out the best in anybody.

I know it's easier said than done but this "pick my call" mentality is not helping matters. What happened to pushing the boundaries of art and doing what inspires you. Every artiste is now looking to draw a politician so that they can get favors. It's becoming annoying

A thank you would have been more appropriate and DM the artist over his not liking it rather than openly deflating his self-confidence.
thank you for something he didn't ask for? Na market wey person prize e go buy but in this case Mr Akin nor even smell market not to talk of to prize am undecided.


Besides,even if Mr Akin asked the artist to draw him ,Mr Akin reserves the right to like it or not. If a customer not liking his art work will deflate his self confidence ,then the artist is not ready,a good artists will see it as a challenge to improve on his passion for a better delivery. That drawing in no way looks like Mr Akin even if you turn the drawing upside down e nor still resemble am grin.

Saying the truth or exactly how u feel about things is being sincere and real we should respect it!

Don't always expect a YES jus because it's a yes in ur yes!

Nigerians and entitlement mentality are 5&6, had the man just said "I like it" and move on without asking to dm him his details, these same miscreants that dragged DJ Khaled when another beggar draw his son Ashad the other time but Khaled never said he would buy it like Kevin did but commended the guy would still drag Alabi.

Sure... I understand your point but he should have done it in a matured way...

Atleast thank the dude for the time he used to draw him then go ahead and pour out his mind.

Yes, he didn't ask for it while the artist was aspiring to get some money from the art work which didn't meet Mr. Akin's standard and has every right to reject it, commissioned or not but our humanity do also beckons on us to convey our displeasure in such circumstance to encourage the artiste not by paying him for the work but constructively give a feedback that would fire him up to see his flaws and improve on his skill.

If you have a crack or chip on your windshield and you happen to be reading this, do well to contact me on the numbers on my signature below. Cracks on windshield are very much repairable and the replacement cost saved with the help of a UV-aided modern technology. The earlier a crack or chip is repaired the better the result and the safer and healthier the windshield, as a professionally done glass repair ultimately ends any chance of a spread or further running of the crack in addition to restoring the windshield to a near perfect state without any sign of a damage.
Thank you.

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.

https://mobile.twitter.com/akinalabi/status/1287530201623207936

Op you are a BIG liar. Lai must be your mentor.

You said it was not meant for Akin but yet it was tagged @akinalabi and the instruction said Retweet if you like it @akinalabi.

Dude said he doesn't love it. Though he was blunt but don't come up again here with that crap that it wasn't directed at him because we all know his attention and opinion were being sought for by asking for retweet unless you are new to Twitter.
