The Battle banter started when Zikoko published an article about Generation Z’s opinions on Millennials. Millennials disagreed and decided to set things straight.
Millennials were represented by people such as Singer Simi, FK Abudu, and Mochevious.

We’ll leave you to pick your winner but we think Gen Z took this one easily.
Hopefully, we get to see other generations slug it out soon.
