He also said he did not want to hurt him physically, hence him putting it in his music.
I-Octane highlighted that despite Malie Donn having one of the biggest dancehall hits for 2023, his reply to Malie Donn was the grandest push he could have gotten in his young musical career as he expressed his disappointment with Malie Donn dodging the lyrical clash.
