She further pointed at the rhyming and melodies on the chorus which she said was incomplete.

In her words:

"Burna boy is losing it with his music arrangement. Wizkid was ok but his last 8bars was weak #b'dor

To me, I feel like they made this record in a hurry so I will give it a 5/10. The first 9seconds of the song was unnecessary. Also with the intro? The melodies/rhyming on the chorus is incomplete? Please I need a rematch. Shout out to the beat maker though.You're a boss #inspireme"
