Also: We can’t get enough of Asake’s new album. [View in browser](=.9rCTpj2_finIv0896yi_LIiNM-d7hNod9HdjQlDEY_Q) [Zikoko Daily] 17 June, 2023 Hey . If you’re single right now, you have my sympathy. But since sympathy won’t give you warmth in this rainy season and won’t stop bad belles from shouting, “weather for two” up and down, you might as well turn your own to “weather for food”.
