He warned Flavour to choose his battles wisely, noting their differing levels of success.
He wrote, “BRO!!!!!! We are not on the same level
Pick your Battles carefully.
Stop trying to gatekeep Igbo culture. You’re not a Custodian.
I’ve been in this game before you
It belongs to all.
You dont own this genre of music.
My music celebrates our heritage, and I won’t apologize.
In an ocean of things that matter. You’re like a needle.
People recognize authenticity. I’ll continue celebrating our culture unapologetically.
Spend your energy on success, not diminishing mine.
I’ve never been the type to go head to head, but I’m calling out this bullshit because I won’t be disrespected…
No way… I’ve come too far for anyone to downplay my sweats and hard work
HELL NO!!!!”
