Nigerian rapper cum singer Raoul John Njeng-Njeng better known as Skales has reacted to award-winning Afrobeats singer, Ayodeji Balogun aka Wizkid’s controversial claim that “hip-hop is dead.”
Skales who spoke in a recent interview with Hip TV gave a contrary opinion to the “Ojuelegba” crooner’s statement, nothing that everything in life has time and season.
The rapper further explained that Wizkid must have made the statement because hip-hop isn’t as popular as it used to be back in the day.
Skales asserted that if everyone goes by Wizkid’s standards, they’d soon declare afrobeats or amapiano dead.
In Skales’ words:
Meanwhile, Davido became the latest Nigerian artiste to denounce Afrobeats after Wizkid, Burna Boy and Fireboy recently ditched the genre.
Appearing on an edition of the Business Untitled Podcast, the ‘OBO’ crooner lamented the “boxing” of all African artists into the Afrobeats genre regardless of their musical styles. Davido added that he is an Afro fusion artiste.
