Rapper Phyno has addressed an online critic who questioned his decision to feature Hushpuppi, the convicted international fraudster, on his track ‘Nwoke Esike’.
Music enthusiasts have been divided over the song since its release. While some praised the unexpected collaboration, others voiced disappointment, suggesting that Hushpuppi’s appearance in the song was controversial.
On Sunday, the criticism gained traction when an X user named Temitope Akintade questioned Phyno’s choice.
“I still don’t understand what Phyno was trying to do on that track by bringing Hushpuppi to ‘motivate’ us,” Akintade wrote.
Phyno, known for his reserved public persona, didn’t hold back in his response: “Go and sleep if u no sabi game!!! If Young Thug or El Chapo talk for song now you go rush first play am. Ngwere isi red!!”
Earlier this month, Phyno dropped a snippet of the video for ‘Nwoke Esike’ in celebration of his birthday, offering fans a preview before its release.
