The Mavin Records artiste however disclosed that he would drop an album before commencing his university programme.
He said he would release the album because he does not want his UNILAG fans to beat him up for failing to do so.
“I will try to drop the album before I enter school. So they’ll not beat me in UNILAG. Plus, I’m in the Creative Art Department,” a follow-up tweet read.
