Following Wizkid’s attack on the music genre, Rapper M.l Abaga has reacted saying rap is simply on the rise in Nigeria.
In a recent interview with 10 magazine, Wizkid declared Afrobeat genre of music as the new pop, adding that rap genre of music is dead.
He said: “Afrobeats is the new pop, sold two million copies in America off of one song! Even some American artists don’t have a diamond record.
“If I’m being honest, I don’t listen to any other genre of music anymore. don’t listen to rap that shit is boring to me. It’s dead now, it’s tired. These guys do the same shit, rap on the same beats and the same flows.
