The tweet, though brief, has sparked massive reactions online, with many of his fans and industry watchers interpreting it as a confident clapback to doubters who often question his talent, influence, or relevance.
See the tweet:
Legit.ng reported that the singer opened up his friendship with Hushpuppi, Nigerian socialite and convicted felon, whose real name is Ramon Abbas Hushpuppi.
The socialite was arrested in Dubai in June 2020 and was extradited to America, where he was sentenced to federal prison in 2022.
In a recent interview on the Bagfuel podcast, the afrobeats singer said Hushpuppi is his friend, but he never really knew what he was into, which got him arrested.
The singer who said he was still in contact with the socialite revealed he was going to be released.
