Blackface reacts to Garri importation from China
Blackface, a Nigerian Afrobeat singer, has called out to farmers after a sack of Garri imported from China trended online.
He noted that importing foodstuff from Asian countries does not pose a good outlook on the nation.
The sack of foodstuff has the name “TRS Asia’s finest foods” printed on it, with Garri spelled as “Gari,” which suggests its origin.
See the image shared by Blackface below:
Recall that Blackface was previously in the news after singer Eedris Abdulkareem remarked that 2Baba took advantage of the singer.
According to Abdulkareem’s reaction to the differences between former bandmates 2Baba and Blackface, the former owes his success to the latter.
