This is also love from fans and cinema attendants. Many people have tried to put down this work, but God, in His infinite mercy, has continued to show Himself as God. Thank you, Nigerians. Thank you, cinemas. Thank you, my fans. Thank you, Toyin Titans. Thank you to my distributor and my support system (you know yourselves).

I do not take your love and support for granted. Let’s go again this week! Alakada: Bad and Boujee is showing in cinemas nationwide. Let’s watch it and encourage others to see it too!”
