Efya, in a series of tweets earlier wrote, “As an artiste, I have a multifaceted career that encompasses my music, projects, and obligations. While I value my friendship and artistic connection with Wizkid, I also have my own aspirations and commitments in the music industry. It is essential to strike a balance and prioritise professional growth and individual endeavours.
“It is disheartening to be ridiculed based on misunderstandings and assumptions. I hope this thread provides clarity and sheds light on the intricacies of the music industry. Let us focus on celebrating each other’s achievements rather than perpetuating unnecessary controversies.”
Efya emphasised her positive relationship with Bulldog, and noted that he could have directly reached out to her to express his views. Instead, he chose to air his thoughts on social media, leading to a sense of embarrassment for her.
“I know Bulldog, he could have chosen to call me, but he decided to sit on social media and say that to embarrass me. How does that help me as an artiste mentally,” she stated.
Efya recently released her latest single titled ‘Super Super’, produced by MOG Beatz. The song, following its release, has enjoyed massive streams on various digital platforms.
