Complaints
Willy Paul and Scar Mkadinali are among the artists who felt that Coke Studio would have done better.
So taking to his Instagram page, Willy Paul wondered what criteria are used by Coke to select artists. And Khaligraph jokingly responded to him.
Scar on the other hand was too stunned to type. ‘Really! Coke studio. Really’ he wondered.
