On the other hand, some fans disagreed with her stance. One Twitter user disagreed by stating that Nadia was good but not good enough in her opinion, “One thing we all agree Nadia Mukami is doing great musical compared to any female artist, but she ain't the BEST. Jovial beats her lyrical, vocals, and diversity.”
