Nigerian nightlife sensation, Cubana Chiefpriest, recently took to social media to heap praises on music mogul Don Jazzy, following Wizkid’s acknowledgment of him as an influencer. The tribute came amidst a wave of reactions sparked by Mavin Records signee and rapper, Ladipoe, who highlighted the struggles faced by Afrobeats artists in response to Wizkid’s earlier statement about the state of hip hop.
Ladipoe’s remarks, stemming from Wizkid’s 2022 declaration that “hip hop is dead,” served as a catalyst for discussions on the challenges confronting Afrobeats artists. With a touch of irony, Ladipoe juxtaposed the resilience of Nigerian rappers who weathered the storm of hip hop’s decline with the current struggles faced by their Afrobeats counterparts.
Cubana Chiefpriest’s commendation of Don Jazzy amidst this discourse underscored the recognition of the music mogul’s influence and impact on the Nigerian music scene. As the conversation unfolded on social media, it shed light on the evolving dynamics of the music industry and the enduring legacy of influential figures like Don Jazzy.
His post stirred massive reactions as a fan called the attention of Wizkid over Ladipoe’s statement.
The fan identified as @miracledc12 wrote; “Wizkid, Ladipoe still talk nonsense yesterday o, abeg enter that one too.”
Reacting, Wizkid via his verified page on X wasted no time to carpet Ladipoe and his boss Don Jazzy.
According to Wizkid, he will never chat with any artiste who is signed to an influencer. This means he won’t chat with someone like Ladipoe who is signed under Don Jazzy.
Wizkid wrote; “lol never chatting to anyone signed to an influencer, next”.
