@VivaDido writes: “Kate Henshaw really took the non-greeting personally. Maybe Davido can make it up to her by featuring her in his next song titled ‘Apologies in Harmony.’ Let the melodious make-up begin!”

@oziudo writes: “Because he didn’t greet you ! Why not greet him first?”

@elmannygramwrites: “Brutally honest I love this interview. She said it as it is . He is not my friend Don’t mean I don’t see his greatness she is so eloquent in delivering her answers all the best.”@Omojuwa writes: “When you listen to what Kate Henshaw said about Davido, it was 99% positive. Just watch the video. She said “but he didn’t greet” her. That’s the part most humans that saw the clip held. It’s not their fault. It’s the default wiring of the brain to pick the negative given a choice between that and the positive. What you must do is to elevate yourself beyond that default. So you don’t consistently fall prey to negativity bias.”
