“At the time I did the song, Mikel had issues with his inability to show up for certain Super Eagles games, then some very good rumour monger picked a line from my song as regards patriotism towards representing the national football team and ran with the story of a rift between us, I spoke with Mikel on the phone, and we had a good laugh about it.”
