Ycee Responds to Backlash Over ‘Olodo Uprising’ Comments
Nigerian singer Ycee reacts to the criticism and ongoing conversation surrounding his comments about the “Olodo uprising.”
He reacted to the fact that he received backlash for using Peller as an example. “Some people are saying I shouldn’t have called Peller’s name, but I said what I said. If you feel offended, you should check yourself. A lot of people are also taking what I said out of context. The olodo uprising is even worse than I thought because there are so many people coming out to defend it.”
“My call is to people that are tired of brain-rot content. There is no reason why intelligent people cannot be streamers or content creators.”
