Nigerian musician Slimcase has apologized to his followers after his insensitive comment on Instagram.
Otunba Lamba as he is popularly called took to his Instagram page to bear his mind on the death of George Floyd.
Slimcase in the early hours of Sunday 31st May 2020, posted on his Instagram page that he does not want fame after death.
He said he wished to be celebrated while living than to be famous when he is no more.
“FAME AFTER DEATH… any positive blow wey I gats blow God Let me blow am now that I am alive not after I am dead 💀 😓 George A sacrifice for d change in black history #blacklivesmatters.” He wrote.
This did not go well with a follower who brought his attention to the death of Tina Ezekwe who was shot by a trigger happy policeman.
In his response, Slimcase referred to George’s protest as a global pandemic stating that the death of “Lagos Girl” should be left to Channels News to talk about.
