M.I on the other hand said he is not feeling well enough to protest alongside Falz and Runtown and others who came out to protest.
Unfortunately I'm still not feeling well enough to be outside but I stand with @falzthebahdguy and @iRuntown and all the amazing young people using their voices to say #EndSars
