Masquerade looking like singer Phyno
Legit.ng previously reported that Nigerians on social media were humoured by an individual identified as @drdakonxept on Twitter.
The individual had taken to his page with a funny looking picture he stumbled upon. The picture captured a masquerade alongside some followers.
However, the masquerade was not just any random one but one that looked just like a popular indigenous rapper, Phyno.
It donned a mask that was painted just like the rapper’s face and it also had ‘Highway’ boldly written on the forehead. Highway is Phyno’s hit single with DJ Kaywise.
