Ladipoe, a Nigerian hip-hop artist, has recently spoken out about the controversy involving Wizkid. He clarified that his initial tweet, which playfully mocked Wizkid’s statement about hip hop being dead, was intended as a joke.
He also highlighted the challenges faced by hip-hop artists in the past and compared them to the current discussions surrounding Afrobeats. Wizkid responded dismissively, throwing shade at Ladipoe and his boss, Don Jazzy. In a recent interview, Ladipoe explained that his tweet was not meant to be taken seriously.
He emphasized that it was simply a commentary on the changing landscape of music genres and the unpredictable nature of industry narratives.
Ladipoe stated,
“The entire situation was meant in jest… I found amusement in the resulting chaos.”
Ladipoe emphasized that his tweet was aimed at the audience and anyone who believes in the narrative that a genre is dead, not specifically at Wizkid or any other artist.
