    Thank you for this awesome video!! I was really drawn to this song because of the English I could understand and the music video, but learning what it all means makes it even more special. Asake is super talented. And you’re a great translator! Much love from a Chilean 🇨🇱 in USA 🇺🇸

    “I no dey buga I be cool cat” was also his take on how other nigerian artists are calling each other “new cats”. So his saying he doesn’t care if he’s a buga he is fine being a cool cat

    Raheem in this song was referring to Raheem Sterling (the English professional footballer) a notable fan of Asake, while Wakeel in the song was referring to Abdul-Wakeel Busari, Asake's manager and cousin.
