Popular Nigerian rapper, Chibuzor Azubike Nelson, also known as Phyno, has voiced his frustration over the backlash he received for featuring Hushpuppi in a song.
Phyno faced heavy criticism online after including the convicted felon on his new album, *Full Time Job*. In the track “Nwoke Esike,” Hushpuppi is heard sharing motivational quotes, sparking a wave of reactions.
One critic on X, @Temmyt_Official, commented, “I still don’t understand what Phyno was trying to do on that track by bringing Hushpuppi to ‘motivate’ us.”
In response, Phyno fired back, saying, “Go and sleep if u no sabi game!!! If Young Thug or El Chapo talk for song now you go rush first play am…ngwere isi red!”
This collaboration also signals the end of a past feud between Phyno and Hushpuppi. In 2017, the two clashed online when Phyno advised Hushpuppi to stop flaunting his lavish lifestyle. This came after Hushpuppi accused Phyno and his colleague, Ice Prince, of wearing fake wristwatches.
