Nigerian social media influencer Daniel Regha has said that Wizkid star power became less after he mocked rappers.
The social media critic made this known via his twitter handle, where he stated that Wizkid recent album flopped due to his derogatory statement about rappers.
Recall that during an interview with 10 magazine, the “Essence” singer said rap is dead while arguing in favour of Afrobeats dominating the Hip Hop genre.
According to the Starboy Entertainment founder Wizkid, Hip Hop artistes mostly rap on the same beats, and they have similar styles.
Wizkid also took to social media handles to say that Nigerian rappers are non-rappers who lack development and he went on to list South Africa’s Nasty C and Ghana’s Sarkodie as the ‘real rappers’ in Africa.
As a result of his statement, Wizkid received backlash mostly from Nigerian rap artistes who either responded to him online or released diss freestyles about him.
Months after the singer made these comments, the well-known critic Regha has said that he (Wizkid) lost his star power due to the outcome of his utterance.
According to the social media commentator, it also led to Wizkid’s More Love, Less Ego album turning out as a big failure.
He advised the Joro singer to renounce his statement, beg for forgiveness and make efforts to improve his behaviour.
Taking to his twitter handle, Regha said; “Wizkid’s star power has seriously dropped after he mocked rappers; MLLE is no doubt a mid project, but this also led to the album being a big flop (compared to MIL). He needs to retract his words, beg for forgiveness & improve his behaviour. Humility goes a long way. No offense.”
