Without Asake Amapiano as a genre wouldnโt even be as big as it is now
South Africans just need to accept that Nigerians bettered the sound. Thank you for the log drum whatever but Nigeria will take it from here ๐ ๐
at the show in Vegas, and Rema just shouted out Wizkid (whoโs going on right after him) as an OG and the King of Afrobeats.

can put the agendas to bed now.
Asake needs to divorce this beat.
The intro primes us to think these songs are similar even if the hookโs melody end up being different.
Doesnโt help that verses have similar style - rap, with backing choir- which would have been ok on its own, but altogether feels templated
How does the curfew in Lagos start at 4pm today? How will people get home? A 24 hour indefinite curfew is oppressive and will only give room/excuses for people to be further brutalized by the police.
a truly great day for our young club. Kunle came through our academy, captained the U15 side to the National Championship, before making his senior debut and earning an U17 Eaglets call up. now at 18, heโs off to play in the Danish Premier League for Fremad Amager. so proud.
important to note that the policemen who have been attacking and killing protesters this weekend are not SARS operatives. the issue is deep-rooted. disbanding of the unit is a start, but not enough.
what a crazy year. beyond honoured to have co-produced this soundtrack & given a voice to our people. so much to say & so many stories to tell, but for now just a massive thank you to Ludwig, Ryan, Tunji & Archie for the opportunity and the trust.

Certain man said she ainโt got the look to make it. The Game Will Be Learntโข๏ธ
@prettyboyDO
Donald, either go get a job or get back to making proper music.
NATIVE have supported you for years. Yes, we considered signing you when we started our label. We didnโt sign you because the demos you shared werenโt good. Thatโs life. Nothing personal.
Move on.
The Commissioner of Police has denied that the protest in Surulere became violent, despite us having video evidence to the contrary. He says the only people hurt are 3 police officers & nobody has been arrested ๐ (didn't speak to him directly but was given permission to tweet)
I wrote about the gramophone-shaped elephant in the room, Burnaโs near decade long career as an album artist, and his voice being his strongest asset.
Also, the role of Puff.

The way we listen to albums has changed so much, and Iโm not even sure we realise it. From buying an album and spending a summer living with it, to running through 5-6 albums every Friday morning, and picking your favourite songs from each.
this is my favourite story weโve ever done. I have never read a more honest interview. thank you to everyone involved with bringing this to life, esp.
