In a recent development, controversial Twitter personality Daniel Regha has slammed Wizkid following his recent social media tirades.
Taking to the X-platform, Daniel Regha expressed that Wizkid was talking too much for an artist who was still struggling to drop hits.
He further revealed that it was very insulting of him to downgrade Afrobeat all in the name of making a new album or evolving. He also expressed that the world listened to his last EP and that he had no lyrical directions.
He advised that even if Wizkid wanted to switch from Afrobeat songs to another genre, he could do that without being disrespectful to Afrobeat.
“Wizkid talks much for an artiste who strugg!es to drop hits, & it’s very Insulting to downgrade Afrobeats in the name of making a new album or evolving (which he has not done since his Superstar era). Again, the world listened to his last EP that had no lyrical direction.
If he wants to switch from Afrobeats that’s fine, but he came to limelight doing Afrobeats & should respect that, including music from his first album which made its mark. Maturity is respecting ur old fans while trying to gain new/bigger audience. No shades.”
Now, recall that Kemi Filani had reported just a few hours ago that Wizkid had come out to defend his statement about not wanting to be labelled as an Afrobeat artist. Defending himself, Wizkid doubled down on his words as he explained his statement better, noting that he did not want his music to be stereotyped or put in a box.
He also advised Nigerians to educate themselves as he stated that even though he is an African artist, he makes music that is not only for Africans. He also revealed that despite how good or amazing an artist’s music is, most African artists keep getting nominated in one category at Grammys or other international awards and that was because of the lack of diversity.
Recall that Daniel Regha just 7 days ago had expressed his opinion on Christians who always call on the God of a particular pastor or a particular influential religious body.
He revealed that Christians should refrain from always calling on the God of such people and instead they should call on the God that they truly worship. He further revealed that if they must call on people, then those people should have a biblical reference attached to them.
For example, calling on the name of the God of Isaac, Abraham or Deborah as opposed to the God of Nathaniel Bassey, Frank Edwards, etc.
