Responding to Korty’s tweet, famed YouTuber Tayo Aina said he changed the game in the African YouTube space, insisting that he knows his onions and should be accorded some respect.
I changed the game in the “African” YouTube space. cause I don’t talk about it doesn’t mean I don’t know my impact.
I’m not even a goat. I’m a fucking Bull! https://t.co/Twz0seUUgB

Why are pple upset about Korty’s tweet?
Babe legit said ‘no one paved way for her in her YouTube journey, only God made things easy for her’.. and she been pushin herself thereafter. But some are dragging her to give credit. Y’all make it seem like bragging about your wins is bad— Gucci icecream🍦🇨🇦 (@gucciicecream01) August 25, 2022
~ I think a lot of y’all just want to bully Korty or say something about her tweet. No doubts, there were people making YouTube content before her – Fosudo ( tech ) , Tayo ( Travel ) etc – Korty came & started something else for herself ( Lifestyle ).
So, what’s the problem?

Tayo Aina, Steven Ndukwu, Vivian Okezie, might not have paved the way for you. But those are definitely GOATS!

Tbh, I enjoy watching Fisayo’s YouTube videos more than Korty. But I’m not even ready for the conversation.

Why do people even see the need to put all this out here. As long as you eating good and everything is working right ignore. Omo y’all are funny sha. You have a breakthrough enjoy it and keep working hard. All this is quite unnecessary if you ask me.

Mazi Ibe, Pamilerin and a few others “paved way” for quite a number of Twitter influencers. I remember the first day I saw Mazi Ibe’s dm if I’d be interested in promoting a brand, I could not rest for hours.
Korty is just chasing clout.

Found out about Korty’s page when she did her review of Burna Boys’ “Twice As Tall”. And I’ve been a fan since.
Anything she says is true. 😌

korty acts like she does never seen before things.
talmbout nobody paved way for me. sit down, miss.— Aeesha Sa’ad🦄💕 (@TheAeesha) August 25, 2022
To be honest, I enjoy korty's "content" becuase of her type of 'relatable' direction and her choice of invitee.. but tayo Aina is on another level,
From style of video, to editing, to location and infused expenses, to social impact. He is really a Bullish Goat⚡️🤝🏽 https://t.co/ihfkFbGjPx
