@kinghsley: hahahahahaha. you asked a very good question. I think Wikipedia don't recognise her as a musician rather an actress. all those stuffs she was doing was just public stunt and "over excitement". @becky: e concern you. don't you like the"KOKO"? D'banj got it. i guess you love it. ‪#‎justkiddingaround‬
