Daniel Regha reviews Wizkid's Kese

Legit.ng previously reported that the X critic shared his opinion about Wizkid's Kese.

Daniel Regha rated the song and tried defending the reason for giving it such a mark.

Regha noted that it was not a masterpiece lyrically. He added that Wizkid should have gone a little harder in the first verse, while the “Cana” reference in the second verse was completely unnecessary.
