Reacting to it, controversial Twitter influencer, Daniel Regha on Friday said, “WizKids “More Love, Less Ego” album is ¤verhyped; He’s recycl!ng lyrics with different beats.
“Also, songs off the album are centred on material!sm but the album title suggests humility (so n¤ correlati¤n). As an artiste, Wizkid is n¤t evolving, & his pen game is m!d. No shades.”
