One of the most recent was the statement by Ace afrobeat singer Wizkid. While replying to a question during an interview, the singer made it clear that he does not love rap music. He added that rap was dead and not worth listening to.
However, despite the quiet in the Nigerian rap scene, Zlatan Ibile has managed to stay relevant in the industry. He has stayed afloat with controversies and has managed to drop numerous classics.
