“My God will fight for me, and I will hold my peace. Since December 2023 … I personally reached out in January….. still, you are refusing to play my music and give my team a hard time.

“The common decency to reach out and clear out any misunderstanding borne out of sheer carelessness on your path for a whole year and your next move is to place an embargo on my songs? Remove my whole catalogue @CoolFMNigeria.”
