Why I regret putting Idowest on hit song “Legbegbe” – Mr. Real

Singer Victor Okafor popularly known as Mr. Real has expressed regret over featuring Idowest on his hit track “Legbegbe”, claiming it limited the song’s potential and his career growth.

In a recent interview on Hip TV Trending, Mr. Real revealed that he wished he had released the record as a solo project, stating that it would have elevated him to the same status as some of Nigeria’s biggest stars, including Wizkid and Burna Boy.
