“🥺We really never know what one is going through, hey, that is tough, mama, and I’m sorry you went through such. Congratulations on your freedom and welcome back! 🔥🙌”
sane_grootman remarked:
“How does that happen? Who holds the power to ban one from releasing? I think such conversations are necessary. These podcasts claiming to be for the culture should definitely be at the forefront of discussing these serious issues faced in the industry, instead of bashing artists. Congratulations on gaining your freedom again. 🙌❤️”
solphenduka gushed:
“Dudu ❤️. Congratulations 🔥”
