She said, &#8220;I\u2019ve made a few calls to get clarity on what the matter is, because we were just at a function last night. I\u2019ve been informed that you were expecting your song to be played during my DJ set last night but I was unaware.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tolani Baj emphasized that she had previously supported Avala&#8217;s music and had no control over the events of the previous night. &#8220;There was no proper communication from the promoter whatsoever that I needed to infuse your performance into my DJ set at all. My set last night was supposed to be for an hour but got cut to 30 minutes and ended abruptly for the next DJ to play. (I wasn\u2019t happy about this) Yes, you informed me that you were performing and I was super excited for you. A song that I love and supported you by pushing it on all my platforms? Come on girl. How was I expected to know the plans if nothing was communicated to me?&#8221; she explained.<\/p>\n<p>Tolani Baj expressed disappointment that Avala did not reach out directly to discuss the issue before calling her out on social media. &#8220;I\u2019m so disappointed to be very honest because what you may have assumed is completely false. We could\u2019ve clarified immediately with a call or text but there was no grace extended to hear my side of the story,&#8221; she concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Oratokhai Jesusemen O.
