It is pure art - MC RSK

In a chat with Legit.ng's Olumide Alake, MC RSK said Sabinus was not the first comedian to mimic a politician in the country as he described his action as pure art.

Sabinus came under massive criticism for mimicking the presidential candidate of the APC, Bola Tinubu during his concert in Port Harcourt.

RSK said:

"Well maybe the timing makes it look like it has some political undertone, but Tinubu is not the first politician to be mimicked. MC tagwaye mimicks Buhari, a certain comedian mimicked Patience Jonathan in 2015 during the Ali Baba January concert. There is hardly any politician that has never been mimicked. I do not know why Tinubu's own is causing issues with his supporters. Arinze Baba mimicks governor Wike perfectly. All of these acts are in public spaces."
