Apparently, Usman was drunk during the early morning and posted the same while in the condition and cleared it for his fans. He said, “Let me clear this up, I know that was tough. It was 4 am in the morning, it was a little slizzered and obviously, I typed that the wrong way,”

However, the ‘Nigerian Nightmare’ had the same fury for his haters. “Let me rephrase this for that hater. You know who you are, that particular hater. There’s one of you or maybe two of you that keep watching my story, so you can have something to hate on. Choke yourself. It’s me saying it now. Choke yourself.”
