Pheelz sparks reactions over comment about working with Olamide
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that music star Pheelz sparked mixed reactions from netizens with a response that attracted different interpretations.
A Twitter user had taken to the platform noting that he misses hearing Pheelz’s producer tag in rapper Olamide’s songs.
Pheelz, however, quoted the tweet with a response suggesting that such collaboration wouldn’t be happening between them again.
"Maybe he is trying to say he is not producing for him again as per say him don become artiste," a Twitter user wrote in reaction.
