According to her, his politics was only limited to his songs and he actually lacks the guts to challenge the system he has been known to criticise.
She went ahead to ask how it was revolutionary to lambaste a system in his songs only to accept taxpayers’ money as gifts from them in reality, especially from a governor known to owe salaries.

Interesting.
This is coming soon after Legit.ng reported that BBNaija star, Tacha, lambasted Nigerians who criticised Governor Wike's gift to Burna Boy.
An aggrieved Tacha specifically stated those who think the gifts to Burna Boy is not necessary are simply insane.
According to her, entertainment has been ‘dead’ in Port Harcourt for a while and it should be applauded that Wike thought to appreciate the Grammy-winner by giving him a piece of land.
Tacha noted that the Twice as Tall singer should even have an entire town named after him in PH.
