Darlington Okoye, also known as Speed Darlington, a Nigerian artist and rapper based in the United States, has claimed to have made Afrobeats famous around the globe.
Speed, as he is also known, said he made a greater contribution to the genre than Grammy winner Burna Boy.
This was said by the controversial singer during a recent episode of the Be Grounded podcast, when he also mentioned that he is a music producer.
According to him, he created the majority of the songs he released, including the track I’m In Love With My Hand he did with Zlatan Ibile.
Speed Darlington lammented that many Afrobeats artists have done less than he has, yet they are more recognised and applauded.
He stated that he will not celebrate after witnessing colleagues he knows he is better than obtaining more work and growing larger.
Meanwhile, Bonsue-Fuji exponent, Adewale Ayuba, is set to release a new musical album – Fujify Your Soul.
In an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos on Saturday, Ayuba said that the album, to be released on Feb. 26, consisted of seven tracks.
He said that the album emphasised the need to embrace love, uphold monogamy and Fuji music.
He said that the album was aimed at encouraging Nigerians to love one another and strongly embrace Fuji music.
“I will be releasing another musical album on Feb. 26. This is “Fujify Your Soul” talking to everyone to uphold Fuji music, we should not allow it to fade away.
“The tracks on the album are: Calling, Koloba Koloba, Sibi Mi, Jekarira, Asiwaju Ikene Remo Adeleke Adesina, Sookun Family and Fujify Your Soul.
“The tracks have strong messages about love, the essence of imbibing monogamy and correcting the notion that being a musician does not allow one to concentrate on one wife.
“Musicians can live in affluence and still be decent,” he said.
According to him, one of the tracks, Jekarira, which was done in London, emphasises the importance of love.
