Ayo de Jaguda once stated on Twitter that he has no time to communicate with some users who only started listening to Nigerian music in 2014.
There are plenty of Gen Zers on social media who would argue that Wizkid was the first African to make Afrobeat music.
In the same way, many of them post daily on social media that Davido, Zino and Wizkid started Amapiano in Nigeria.
Now let’s move on to why we wrote this post.
Wizkid Bad To Me Amapiano
On September 13, Wizkid released “Bad To Me,” the title track from his upcoming fifth studio album, “More Love, Less Ego.”
The song’s production has an Amapian beat, which many music critics on social media find hilarious.
One of Davido’s ardent Twitter followers identified as Roza responded to Wizkid’s song “Bad to Me” Amapiano saying that Davido brought the genre from South Africa to Nigeria and made it popular.
“Davido brought Amapiano from South Africa two years ago and made it a hit genre in Africa and beyond, Wizkid is now jumping into the same genre after Davido made it a hit genre.Here’s how many African artists have benefited from David’s success for over 12 years.” she chirped.
To refute Rosa’s claim, a South African DJ named Maphorisa quoted Rosa’s tweet and said that he and Kabza were the first to feature Wizkid and Burnaboy on an amapiano song.
“Kabza and Maphorisa first put Wizkid and Burnaboy on the Amapiano Sponono song which was a historic moment 3 years ago, the research before the tweet was also the first time Wiz and Burna jumped on the same song together. let it sink in” he peeped.
On Maphorisa’s claim, Davido said that despite everything he did for the DJ, he never loved him.
“Did you never like me? I’ve always been good to you… Anyway! AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! chu chu chu chu chu”, Davido tweeted.
Responding to the debate about which Nigerian musician first introduced Amapiano to the country, Mr. May D claimed that he did it first and even has an award to prove it.
“Bring me naija-eating amapiano, and I’ve got the awards to prove it! We’ve started the biggest South African collaboration! I don’t like saying shit like this, but y’all like to put me under the box.” May D tweeted.
But now many people wonder who, among David, Wizkid and Mr. May Yes, brought Amapian to Nigeria.
