Wizkid, The Nigerian megastar, has declared that the rap genre is dead and unworthy of listening to.
He responded to the backlash by saying he doesn’t listen to rap music.
Earlier this week, the singer spoke with 10 Magazine, a British luxury quarterly publication, and claimed that the Afrobeats genre is more innovative than rap music, which he claims is boring.
Wizkid stated that he does not listen to rap music because it is boring, dead, and tiring.
Following his assertions, the singer faced backlash from rap supporters and fans.
Starboy, who has been at the forefront of bringing the Afrobeats genre to the world, did not take it lying down.
Wizzy described rappers as “broken boys” on Instagram, stating that he will not lower himself to their level.
He went on to say that the only rappers in Africa are Ghana’s Black Sherif and Sarkodie, as well as South Africa’s Nasty C.
“Can’t believe you all broke boys thought Big Wiz will talk abt you all. Wow! You all are not even rappers! Nasty C, Sarkodie, and Black Sherif are the only rappers in Africa. ” You all keep sending una popsy rap videos! I go dey watch maybe I fit help una mama life,” he wrote.
