"Choreography makes dances look better, which is why Lloyd’s moves usually shine. But this time, he seemed average. Most dancers struggle with freestyling, and only a few with “killer moves”make it impressive. For storytelling, I’d pick Juvenile over Lloyd."

"How can Kumasi people can be compared to Accra guys. Kumasi fo) what at all are they good at? If not bragging what else tsw."

@KojofxBouncer remarked:

"Juvenile does it best but it's win for Dancegod. Dancegod took it as far as 1:01 But Juvenile did only."

@JayJanika noted:

"This isn’t fair on Lloyd 😂, this is Juvenile’s field o,back in school (ss) he killed all the gospel songs( especially Akoko Abon by Diana Asamoah), gospel storytelling (break dance) = Juvenile. Dancegod be latest guy, fantastic dancer, but if u give them any gospel tune,Juvenile never go carry last. If u want make Juvenile fold, play Lomo Lomo 😂😂."
