Slimcase explains why he prostrated
Following the criticisms that trailed the video, Slimcase, in a new video, has responded to his critics.
He said he greeted Burna Boy with respect because the singer was far ahead of him in the music industry, irrespective of their age differences.
Slimcase stated that Burna Boy had bagged significant awards, including the prestigious Grammy Award, making him a big artiste in the music industry.

“This is the way I greet GRAMMYS as young as Rema is make e win Grammy I will greet him this way #slimcaseshow.”
