Don jazzy = Timberland. Not any of those you listed. Tiwa would be his Nelly Furtado and Dbanj should've been the Justin Timberlake.

Never said Dbanj =Timberlake.
__but based on the fact that he (Timberlake) was Timberland's protege, it wouldn't be weird to link him to Dbanj in this context.

Na wa for dis OP o. So because they are Americans, that qualifies them to be mentors of our Nigerian acts even when some of these Nigerians, have been in the industry longer than the american counterparts undecided
Re: Nigerian Celebrities And Their Foreign Counterparts They Imitate by JEITO: 12:59pm On Mar 11, 2015

I DO NOT WANT TO CALL U A RE..TARD PLS, BUT IF IT IS AMERICAN ARTISTS THEN WE'ALL TALKING ABOUT GLOBAL ENTERTAINMENT ICONS. WITHOUT THEM, U WOULD NEVER HAVE ALL THESE YOUR WANNABE CELEBRITIES. THEY INFLUENCE OTHER MUSICIANS ALL OVER THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE. THEY ARE GLOBAL ENTERTAINMENT FIGURES.

''even when some of these Nigerians, have been in the INDUSTRY longer than the american counterparts''. I WONDER WHAT U MEAN HERE.
