He's struggling ! He can't even hear himself. Don't they give in-earphones. He's not in sync with the sound. Omo if bad sound catch you, I no know the kind skills when u get, u go too fail. This is the reason why I encourage stage and dress rehearsals.

When you see rubbish like this, it makes you appreciate Burna more. You are performing at a big festival like afronation, and you can't even rehearse.
Una go learn by force
