Insiders: “By giving Ghana the edge, Mr. Eazi betrayed us”

We’ve come to love Mr Eazi over the last few months. For him, it didn’t take too much convincing to win the Nigerian fan base. About three hit songs, Wizkid on his back, some Ghanaian flavour and Mr. Eazi had us all screaming his praise from rooftops… until this tweet. https://twitter.com/mreazi/status/819266629196509184 Mr. Eazi aired his...
