Waje shares more about Psquare’s song

Singer Waje began explaining the steps she took afterward, but the recording was cut off at that point.

Netizens reacted after seeing the video of Waje's interview on the Honest Bunch Podcast. Here are comments below:
@crco shared:
"Wow I didn’t know it was her. You guys didn’t try at all. You better do the needful and pay her for her own contributions to this global hit song. Meanwhile as an aside I didn’t know Waje is Igbo."
@avdo69 stated:
"Nigerian music industry runs on “use and forget.” Too many legends worked behind the scenes with zero credit."
@waleobiz shared:
"Do me I do you"; life ironically did her back. She deserved better."
@BestEducreator wrote:
"That song alone gave her exposure and it is not about money n credits. That song was one of the reasons she went on to have her own career today too. That song exposed her to the world and Nigeria Market, then it was a privilege to be on her track with Psquare. I rest my case."
