In a declaration on his official X handle (formally twitter), Banks tied the EP’s title to a 6-year-old exchange with Burna Boy. Back then, Burna Boy dismissed Reekado’s call-out, saying he would only do a “hit battle” with a “worthy challenger”.
Referencing that remark, Reekado wrote: “The next one may be called ‘Clout animal’ lol. #WorthyChallenger OUT NOW.”
Born Ayodeji Solomon, Banks joined Mavin Records in 2014 but exited four years later.
He released his debut album ‘Spotlight’ on September 1, 2016. Nine years later, he dropped his sophomore album ‘The Game Needs You’.
It was also gathered that the prominent singer won Rookie of the Year at The Headies in 2014 and took home Next Rated in 2015.
