He further stretched the number to 10.
He wrote:
“We initially announced that there would be three winners from the challenge. We later realized that was an underestimate.
“There are too many dope entries that we cannot ignore, so we decided to stretch that number to 10! Even this was tough.
”All winners would be featured on the extended remix version of MrYakubu. One of the tracks on the Falz x VEC collaboration project dropping in a bit.”
