One of the fans who was clearly irritated by the song expressed his frustrations after Feli Nuna posted the cover art for the song and wished the ‘Maame Hwe’ hitmaker happy birthday on twitter.

The fan who responded to the post in a twitter comment described the tribute song as a piece of sh*t being forced onto Ghanaians by over-hyped female artistes.

The fan insisted that Ebony was a super talented female singer, and therefore deserved better than their tribute song.

However, his demining comment appeared to have angered Feli Nuna who equally fired back at him on twitter.

In her reply, Feli Nuna labeled the fan as a ‘liar’, insisting that the female starsN produced the tribute song from their hearts in honor of Ebony.
