@Odumodublvck_ I know you needed a traffic for your new song but don’t ever try and use @PeterObi to chase your clout, I am a top fan of yours but learn to respect, it is just because Peter Obi is down to earth that’s why you will smoke your Amuwo weed finish and be typing rubbish, learn to know when to play. Fame Dey enter head but remember “ A tree never make a forest”. Don’t destroy what you built because of an expensive joke.
