Runtown, known for hits like Mad Over You, For Life, and Gallardo, has been in the game for over a decade. While he has been low-key in recent years, many fans argue that calling him an “upcoming artiste” is pure disrespect.

Meanwhile, X (Twitter) and Instagram are buzzing with divided opinions. Some people are defending Runtown, saying his impact on Nigerian music is undeniable with songs that keeps us grooving, while others are laughing at the savage take.

Still, others believe that Runtown has been unnecessarily quite in recent times, noting that as an artiste, one needs to keep being in the news for relevance, just like Portable.
