The intimate session with fans got so intense that at a point, the rapper had to step back and allow two of his fans rattle lines from his ‘No Where Cool’ album.

Patrons did not only jam to songs from M.anifest but had the rare opportunity of asking him questions which he gladly answered.

One of the key moments of the event was when a fan asked him if he would feature his ‘rival’ Sarkodie on his next single.

After pausing for some few seconds, M.anifest directed the microphone to the crowd and asked: “What do you guys think?”
