Nigerian singer, Ayodeji Balogun, famed as Wizkid, has hit hard at music executive, Don Jazzy while reacting to shade fired at him by Mavin signee, Ladipoe.

“Nigerian rappers that survived ‘hip hop is dead’ watching Afrobeat artists go through their own,” Ladipoe wrote via X.
Recall that in December 2022, in an interview with 10 Magazine, a British luxury quarterly publication, Wizkid asserted that the Afrobeats genre was innovative, as opposed to rap music, which he said was boring.
This ignited the narrative about the rap genre being dead and unworthy of an audience.
Netizens connected the dots to Ladipoe’s tweet, which made them ask Wizkid, who now doesn’t want to be identified as an Afrobeats.
