“Yesterday, I invited Kesari to church. And today I am seeing it everywhere on Twitter. And a comment under one of the posts was ‘when they fail at music they start to go to church’,” he said. The singer expressed his anger, demanding to know what better options the critic could offer, adding, “Na your house make I come? Shey the ogunme dey your house make I subscribe?”
