I think chidimma will do very well in the industry . She’s got swag
I wasn’t there and God who did i miss most? Brandy? No. Joe? No. D’banj? No. Chidinma? Yes yes yes. That chick’s on point.
MTN messed up, first of all, no free drinks or chops since it was a free show, 2, The show starts late, 3, They were now using us for studio work which we weren’t told about before the show, 4, And that wasted a lot of time. 5. They deceived us about Game coming. I just regretted coming, only Elenu made me smile.
