The Headies Awards ‘Next Rated’ winner on Wednesday night desperately sought to make fans understand his argument, but all he got was a barrage of attacks and criticism.
Undeterred, Mr Eazi said although Nigerian music is a major force in Africa, “the new bounce is Ghana”.
“Ghana’s influence on present day “Naija Sound” cannot be over emphasized. Naija music is & has been a major force affecting the entire African scene. Quality, riddim, business,” said the artiste whose real name is Oluwatosin Oluwole Ajibade.
While the singer who recently released a mixtape was getting slammed from all angles, a few music industry figures drummed up support for him.
Ovie Ofugara, co-owner of NotJustOk and Oladotun Ojuolape Kayode, Cool FM on-air-personality and hype man, agreed that Nigerian sound is heavily influenced by Ghanaian music.
Ovie noted that Mr Eazi didn’t say anything far-fetched nor was his assertion off the mark, noting that it is “what some industry folks have been saying behind the scenes”.
