Covid-19: RudeBoy Mocks Politicians
In March, 2020, when coronavirus outbreak hit Nigeria, Rudeboy lambasted Nigerian politicians for failing to invest in the healthcare infrastructure in a song he remixed.
Rudeboy made his views through the remix of Plantashun Boys’ popular hit track “If Life,” emphasizing that politicians would have to stay and suffer with ordinary Nigerian citizens, for failing to build good hospitals in the country, as the disease spreads since they could not fly out to western countries to get treatment.
