Nigerian singer Mr Eazi has blasted Nigerian musicians for using Ghanaian elements in their songs.
The singer who became known in Nigeria, has continued to voice his opinion about the influence of Ghanaian elements in the creation of Nigerian pop music.
The singer went further saying that most of the top Afrobeats and African songs are all on the mcollaboration of Ghana and Nigerian sounds, a sound that he champions.
“The speed at which I’ve moved is scary to me…cause it took my contemporaries 5, 6 years,” Eazi said.
“And that is what has been this year, if you want to count like 5 afrobeat, it’s like everybody just realized that ‘yo what formula is Mr Eazi using?’ Ok we’re gonna end up doing it. December last year almost 60% of Nigerian artiste were in Ghana playing shows”
“Now everybody is using words like Banku, Shitor, Maami, Odoo, Sika. My guy, how come? How do you know Odoo? How do you know Sika? How do you know Maami? From where, what’s the connection?
“I’s just like an American artist just rapping about something in the UK, and you know he has no knowledge of it.”
However, Nigerian singer, Runtown has rebuked at Mr Eazi for his comments. Tweeting from his handle, the ‘Mad over you’ singer said: “Bout to drop that new sound again and pls Don’t get mad when i finish what you think you started”
