One Twitter user, @musiclover2023, wrote, “I can’t believe Reekado Banks said those things about Wizkid and Brymo! It’s so disappointing.”

In contrast, @fanforlife2023 tweeted, “Everyone makes mistakes, and we all have opinions. Reekado Banks shouldn’t be judged for things he said years ago.”

Reekado Banks has not publicly addressed the controversy, leaving fans and critics to speculate about his current views on the artists he once criticized.
