Wizkid says he
doesn’t listen to rap music, describing the genre as “dead” and “boring”.
In a recent interview,
the Afrobeats singer spoke about the place of other genres and his thoughts
about them.
Wizkid also hammered on the “dominance of Afrobeats over the
rest of the music market.”
“Afrobeats is the new pop. I sold two million copies in America off of one song! Even some American artists don’t have a diamond record. If I’m being honest, I don’t listen to any other genre of music anymore,” he said.
“I don’t listen to
rap – that shit is boring to me. It’s dead now, it’s tired. These guys do the
same shit, rap on the same beats and the same flows.
“No disrespect to nobody. I don’t have anything against rap
or any other type of music. I have a lot of rappers as friends, like a lot. So
I’m probably the wrong person to say this.”
Wizkid has had five albums, including ‘Superstar’ (2011),
‘Ayo’ (2014), and ‘Sounds From The Other Side’ (2017).
‘More Love, Less Ego’
is the fifth studio album from the Afrobeats star and was released on
November 11.
It is the follow-up to his 2020 full-length project ‘Made in
Lagos’ and includes the hit single ‘Bad to Me’.
