@pamela_mtanga said: “I don’t have an opinion on the song yet as it’s not very audible. But I gotta commend Davido for growing his musical footprint globally. From Nasty C to Musa Keys to Chris Brown, he’s got range and he is so in touch!”

@dinorenald said: “People are talking about how Davido is going to ruin the song, forgetting what his involvement in SA ???????? songs did for our artists. Watch what happened with Foca, Musa and others after working with Davido. Don’t play the remix if you hate it, but let it open the doors for our kids!”
