Online feuds led by fans have been a dominant trait of the entertainment ecosystem for a long time. They are however unhealthy.
In less than forty eight hours, fans of celebrity artists have clashed. WurlD, the Afro Soul purveyor, seemed to have stepped on toes disclaiming a set of Wizkid's lyrics. Wizkid FC, the much maligned fan base of the bigger artist, got on the post to bash WurlD. It was disrespectful. In no case would they allow the “MAD” crooner talk down on a senior colleague, one of the greatest African performers of all times.
Early today, another rift broke out, in similar fashion to the previous day's fan scuffle. Omah Lay and Oxlade were compared and fans' escalated the banter into full on disses. For context these Afro pop artists boast hit songs and acclaimed debut EPs. Comparison usually happens within a space and Omah Lay and Oxlade certainly orbit the same one currently. But that's where similarities end.
Omah Lay and Oxlade are quite different artists. Get Layd, the EP from the Port Harcourt native Omah, showed his strengths. His pen game was dope and there was this grit to his delivery. If you peel into that sound you'll find Burna Boy in there as well as Drake, influences that inform his versatility. Therein, “Ye Ye Ye” is a quite unique prospect to Oxlade's “AWAY,” even if percussions are dominant in the production. As vehicles for the emotions of lust and escapism as reflected in the songs, they roll perfect. Likewise “O2” and “You”, different in delivery and sonic scope, although similar in theme. Let's face it: every artist –or almost every artist anyways– is singing about love and it would be lazy to compare them across board based off your very subjective preferences.
One man's Lay is another man's Laid. (as in Oxlade, get it?)
The WurlD and Wizkid situation too. Clearly, WurlD's music exists outside the conventional Nigerian sound. He had made name as a songwriter (with multiple writing credits for B.O.B) in foreign shores and returned to stake his claim to Nigeria's audience. He worked the ground with lucidly received tapes. Only when he worked with Sarz on ILove Girls With Trobul did he break out, becoming popular in these parts. Collaborations with Davido were helpful to that mission. “Sweet in the Middle” and “Blow My Mind” were hits and WurlD capped 2019 with a well attended show. A project and couple of videos in 2020 shows the man isn't resting on his laurels. Adored for his music, I'm sure WurlD wants no part of the comparison, insults and notoriety being meted to him by the guilty FC.
Why do we make a fracas out of nothing? Wizkid is poised for Made in Lagos on October 15 and he's surely anticipating its release. Trending his name by disrespecting another artist wouldn't appeal to him –especially not with WurlD, a most talented act.
The Omah Lay and Oxlade situation is even more pitiful. Bad blood drawn by fan clashes can be made indelible over time. It becomes hard and perhaps impossible for these young artists to collaborate, knowing the project will attract further comparison.
At a time when Afrobeats needs exciting collaborations to engage the growing audience, it's a shame we're fanning the embers of hate amongst the young and veteran artists. To put forward a cherry proposition, WurlD and Wizkid would actually be a fire duo. One can only imagine WurlD's inventive usage of language in tandem with the Wizkid aura carried in his vocals and adlibs. Omah Lay and Oxlade, too. They would make great music whenever they step into a studio. You know it and I know it. So let's not allow temporary pleasures (‘cruise,’ as some might call it) deprive us the sweet melodies Africa has to offer.
DMW superstar rapper Dremo showed his emotional side as he eulogizes the relationship between him and Mayorkun.
According to Dremo, his friendship Mayorkun's started when they were both about to be signed to the DMW gang.
In an expressive message on Dremo's Instagram post on the 23rd of September, he shared how Mayorkun has motivated him since four years ago that they had met and how this has made him appreciate their friendship more.
This was following 'who's your guy challenge' for his single 'Who's Your Guy' which he dropped on April 15, 2020. The challenge is asking people to talk about their friends and appreciate their relationships. In 'Who's Your Guy', Dremo rapped about his friend's guy who he barely knows but still went ahead to recognize him when he got in trouble.
Reacting to this act, Asa Asika, applauded the bromance between these two artistes and said that
"Love the relationship between these two have
@iammayorkun @dremodrizzy
Kudos to @davidoofficial for creating an environment where this could happen, it doesn't happen every day."
It is beautiful to see the amazing bromance between these two superstars and a world where men, in most cases, want to act "manly" and be less expressive.

We can all agree that Wizkid FC is one of the strongest fanbases in Nigerian fandom if there’s any association like that and if you talk, imply or move in any way that’s derogatory to their fave, they’ll have you trending in no time... you guessed right! Today is the day WizkidFC makes WurlD trend. But what really happened?
Afrosoul singer, WurlD, took to his Twitter page to ask a seemingly common question, “WurlD once said” and this tweet was going as planned until a WizkidFC came under the tweet to dash WurlD Wizkid’s lyrics.
WurlD recognizing that’s not his lyrics, politely declined the honour to own Machala’s lyrics, stating that the lyrics aren’t his... no, he said “that’s not his style” and Wizkid’s fans have picked offence, dragging the “Trobul” star as allegedly downgrading Wizkid and implying that Wizkid’s lyrics are inferior.
It is important to note that WurlD, who has now deleted the tweet because oga doesn't want trouble, did not in any way imply that Wizkid’s lyrics are inferior, he only stated that such lyrics aren’t his style.
WurlD, reacting officially to the drag and misunderstanding of his statement, informed team Wizkid that Jim stating Wizkid's music is not his style isn't an attempt to bash or disrespect Wizkid.
He said;
What’s not my style doesn’t make anyone’s work less. Make we no turn small ting into bigger someting.
1. Wurld carried his butterfly to drag Wizkids eagle, He said he cant use the kinda lyrics Machala uses, when Wizkid FC started coming for him, baba run delete tweet.
The artist born Douglas Jack Agu has been quiet on the music front since May 2019, when the Tradition EP and a couple of music videos was shot. (If you're into romance here's vacation pictures with his celebrity bae.)
"Kini Issue" is sure to embody that unique Runtown vibe and we're definitely here for that!

This return, Reekado banks said is one that he is doing with an EP titled "Off The Record" because the season is still not right for his album, but first, a single to usher in the EP which has titled "NO MORE".
The single will be dropping this Friday, the 25th of September, 2020.
He said;
"New music is on the way. A lot of new music, actually.

We are going to call the EP "Off The Record". Now listen to this last piece of information, the first song from the EP is titled, "NEED MORE" and it will arrive this Friday.

Nigerian alternative artist Tems has shared the tracklist to her forthcoming project. For Broken Ears, Tems' debut tape will be released this coming Friday, following the previous week's "Damages."
Tems has been one of the brightest talents in the country since "Try Me" shot into the Nigerian mainstream. Her subsequent songs built on that buzz in a unique manner, carefully rather than eagerly, earning the artist the tag of a recluse.
For Broken Ears sees the artist continue in that creative space. She produces all the songs and features no one.
That aside, the song titles are exciting and Tems makes undeniably great music.. we couldn't wait any longer for Friday already.
