In a post shared on her official X page (formerly Twitter), the’ Johnny’ crooner called out Cool FM for acting as gatekeepers and choosing to remove her songs.
She stated further that her God, who is her label and management, is bigger than the radio station and also described the radio station as fake people who feel like small gods.
