Phyno responded sharply to a Twitter user who advised him to retire from music, defending his career and artistic relevance.
A Twitter user mocked Phyno’s upcoming album, telling him to quit music, after seeing a promotional post announcing the album’s midnight release.
The Twitter user disparaged Phyno and Olamide, suggesting they’ve lost relevance, and should retire from music, questioning who would still listen to them in 2024, implying their creative peak had passed.
“Unrelated but Phyno and Olamide need to wrap this shiiiit up. They don’t have the juice no more. Wtf still listen to these guys in 2024?”.
Phyno clapped back at the Twitter user with a sharp insult in his native language, “Akpa amu gi there”, a phrase that conveys disdain and disregard.
