Nigerian rap sensation and actor,

The rapper shared his reservation concerning the proposed bill while speaking at the 4th edition of the Nigerian Entertainment Conference held on April 20, 2016, at Landmark Event Centre, Oniru, Lagos.

He said, “How can you say if someone wants to post motion picture on YouTube, they have to join a council? The MOPICON Bill is ridiculous”.

The bill has been condemned due to the suggestion that it can lead to a restriction of creativity, as attempts to share artistic inventions might become rigorous.

Fellow comedian and actor, Bovi, agreed with this. He believes the bill will cripple the entertainment industry.
