In his video, Dancegod Lloyd showcased his moves to the hit song, which was released before last year's Rapperholic concert.

Although Dancegod Lloyd is celebrated for creating viral dance routines like the Terminator challenge for King Promise, a trend that boosted the song's global success, his submission for Messiah failed to impress.

Many fans found it underwhelming. However, Allo Maadjoa's new video has ignited a debate, with many Ghanaians arguing about whose performance was worse between Dancgod and Allo Maadjoa.
