"We were looking at the bigger picture: to grab the international market. Looking at how Amapiano is growing, our collab with Burna Boy also helped grow our brand as TitoM and Yuppe."

"The remix was unnecessary, but congratulations to them."

"I still don’t like the remix though, congrats."

_DJMosh was concerned:

"These are crazy numbers! I’m worried though that he may have stolen the song away from them. It has become a Burna Boy global hit more than it is a Tito M & Yuppe song. The song has more reach, but less impact for the boys now."

"Some people were against the idea of a remix with Burna. But this is a numbers game, and boy, does Burna have numbers by the bucket load! I like what this did for Tito and them."
