—– Tobi Bakre expressed his dissatisfaction at Nigerians make it look like an achievement when foreign artists listen to their songs.

Some hours ago, Rihanna on an Instagram story shared a video of her showing off her flawless skin and makeup while listening to Wizkid’s ojuelegba.

This got a lot of reactions as several Nigerians celebrated Wizkid as Riri listened to his song.

Recently also, Niniola shared her excitement when Drake followed her and requested her song “Maradona” on a radio show.

However, Tobi Bakre feels like it’s not a big deal or an achievement when a foreign artist listens to a song by Nigerian musicians and it irks him when people make it look like a big deal.

“It irks me when a foreign artist listening to a Nigerian song is made to look like an achievement or such a big deal. I don’t understand. What else should they be vibing to!!! Ugh.” The BBN star tweeted.

1. Think about how much companies pay to gain that level of publicity(a Selena Gomez post is worth $3.5m)
2. Think about the global reach they’re giving said music by simply enjoying it, which btw is even worth more than a paid post because it’s organic.
Yes it’s a big deal.
