Some American music heads were discussing the growth of Afrobeats in America and they had a few things to say about Wizkid and some other revered African music acts.

According to members of the Road Podcast, Wizkid would have been widely unknown safe for the fact that he worked with Drake. The podcast crew attributed any success Wizkid enjoys in America largely to the exposure given to him by OVO honcho Drake with whom he made ‘One Dance’ with.

A particular podcaster said ‘Wizkid is trying to be the Sean Paul of Afrobeat but he is not even close’. He went on to say there is really no poster boy for Afrobeat music. Another explained that if Afrobeat music was in discussion the names that would pop up would be Davido and Wizkid.

The controversial video was shared by Shopsydoo, UK Afrobeat promoter and media personality.

Watch and listen to the clip below.

I'm sure he paid Drake heavily for the collaboration so they should stop talking as if it was a favor.

Yes ofcourse, that is almost the norm in the industry. bigger artistes most times make way for the smaller ones. Lil Tunechi contributed in drake's rise, olamide => kesh, davido > mayorkun e.t.c.

Wizzy would have gone farther had it been drake just featured in the come closer video

nevertheless, Starboy is repping naija/africa well

White people/ foreigners feeling like their opinion all of a sudden matters on issues relating to afrobeats
If Dem no hear am we here are more than glad to play only afrobeat on our stereos all day
Wetin oyinbo wan sing wey we Neva hear b4

Like he paid Chris Brown,Future,Metro Browmin,Normani and host of USA/UK artiste he collaborated with too? You need to reason more bro

Who gives a Bleep about their opinion tho? whether known or unknown, the boy's still selling out shows, getting endorsements and living the dream. they can go Bleep themselves and choke on their mic for all I care

without this post I wouldn't have known who tf the podcast crew are.
