The 30BG boss expressed regret that the deceased didn’t afford him the opportunity to fulfil the remaining of his promises to him.
Davido wrote: “Your workshops. Your studios, Trips. Shows. Scenes. Moments. all of it. I can’t believe you didn’t give me the chance to fulfil the rest of my promises to you. My heart is so heavy right now and I’m just grateful I met you.”
