This Fireboy tweet from 5 years ago never got the flowers it deserves.

One thing I respect about Seyi Tinubu is the fact he quietly opens doors that change peoples lives but he makes no noise or shalaye.

Our artistes and the entertainment industry at large have felt his support over the years - even more so now that they’re getting Presidential support through him. So cool.

Happy Humanitarian Day to Seyi Tinubu and Layal Tinubu, whose compassion and service continue to uplift countless lives.
