The ‘Grind’ singer expressed that he was not bothered by the tweet that some interpreted as disrespectful.
Ayisi urged his fans to remain calm and not overreact to the situation.

Ayisi’s response suggested that the bond between the two artists remains strong, dismissing any notions of discord.
“It’s all love. I love Blacko, he is doing good. Great artiste, talented, young, I can’t hate on that at all, especially over a blog,” Ayisi insisted.
Black Sherif has never shied away from expressing his admiration for Ayisi.
