I will take the blame for the Davido thing, but they’re down to fix it! Talking to teams about locking tokens & how to stay engaged in other parts of crypto ecosystem all the other stuff tho I ain’t have anything to do with I just said I think there’s a way to onboard celebs positively.”

“If you learn anything from the Ansem celebrity nonsense, let it be that it is ok to just say “Alright guys, I fucked up, I am wrong”, rather than resorting to this type of gymnastics.”
