Popular Media Personality and former music producer Samklef reveals the two artists who took Afrobeats outside the four walls of Nigeria.
Recall that Samklef is always trending for revealing inner tips and stories within the Nigerian music industry; the proclaimed blogger disclosed who truly sets Afrobeat on the world trend. Many Nigerian artists, including superstar and the ‘Skelewu’ crooner, boast about putting Afrobeat on the man. The music genre has been gaining more attention worldwide, and mainstream platforms now include Afrobeat artists on charts. Samklef has, however, shaded Davido by excluding him from the top dawgs in the industry.
The DMW frontman earlier disclosed in an interview circulating on Twitter that Wizkid and himself were the only artists enjoying mainstream likes from the public before other new cats emerged. He included Burna Boy, Rema, Fireboy, and the likes in the list of new cats dominating Afrobeat worldwide. This sounded weird and disrespectful to the outsiders and the ‘Odogwu.’
Some fans stated that Wizkid and Olamide were the only two musicians popping from the onset. Samklef confirmed that the whole gist about Davido blowing Afrobeats is just a rumor. According to the blogger via his Instagram post, Olamide and Wizkid are the two street kids that started the game.
In a recent tweet by @Jah_boy01 via Twitter, the Starboy Ent crooner was placed ahead of others in the music industry. The post read, “Wizkid senior everybody!! It’s been longgggg” and received several likes from netizens, including famous rapper and Singer Olamide. Could there be an uproar within the inner circles of the Nigerian music industry? Let us know what you think.
