Popular TV host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu has joined the new cats’ conversation.
Recall that Davido had come under heavy backlash after referring to Burna Boy as one of the new cats in the music industry.
In what seems like a jab at the Afrobeats star, Ebuka, via a post shared on his social media timeline, claimed that he was amongst the first to blow things up in the hosting industry.
He went on to make a remark about being happy to see new cats like comedian Bovi performing as hosts.
He wrote: “Everybody knows. I was one of the first to blow the hosting game up. So it feels good also seeing the new cats coming up, like Bovi…”
Comedian Bovi took to his Instastory to reply to Ebuka as he wrote:
First to do….. @ebuka you grew up in bendel like me.
So complete this poem.”
In the comment section of Ebuka’s post he added:
“Meow meow.”
