Ladipoe, a Nigerian hip-hop artist, has addressed the recent controversy with Wizkid, clarifying that his initial tweet was meant as a joke
He had playfully mocked Wizkid’s previous statement that “hip hop is dead” and compared the challenges faced by hip-hop artists in the past to the current discussions surrounding Afrobeats.
Wizkid responded dismissively, shading Ladipoe and his boss, Don Jazzy.
In a recent interview, Ladipoe explained that his tweet was not meant to be taken seriously and was simply a commentary on the evolving nature of music genres and the fickle nature of industry narratives.
He stated, “The whole thing was a joke… I was amused by the chaos that ensued.”
Ladipoe emphasized that his tweet was aimed at the audience and anyone who believes in the narrative that a genre is dead, not specifically at Wizkid or any other artist.
