‘@kennyfly77’ rebutted: “How do u expect Nigerians to vibe wit you, when you sing what they don’t understand..We even preffer patapa self..What stops you from bringing Sark, Becca and King Promise?”
Ighodalo85 also tweeted that; “I thought you Ghanaians said your Ghana artists murdered Nigerians acts on AfroNation because y’all we're not feeling the vibe .Now you know the difference between home and away.”
Meanwhile it will be recalled in 2018 that Stonebwoy, Shatta Wale and other Zylofon Media signees experienced this unpleasant situation at a concert that was aimed at celebrating Menzgold’s entry into Nigeria.
The reception was so bad that popular hiplife artiste, Sarkodie sympathized with his colleagues and also opened up about the challenges he encountered at Nigeria before he was accepted.
