Americans and pride, the fact that the DJ's knew who WIZKID is that means he's known. Why they didn't they mention Reekado banks if they knew who he is. They just don't want to admit that WIZZY is talented.

they were discussing BET nominations

Harrysong has slammed the American DJs who said that Wizkid is nobody without Drake, during a recent episode of their 'Road Podcast'.

Recall we reported that the American DJs; DJ Crooked, DJ Neva, DJ Dmiles and DJ Jaime Da Great stated that some parties are trying to make the Nigerian superstar the Sean Paul of Afrobeats. They also claimed that Wizkid has never done what Sean Paul did. The American DJs who further said that Wizkid is not a mainstream artiste, added that apart from music heads nobody in the streets of America knows who Wizkid is.

However Harrysong who slammed the American DJs who said Wizkid is nobody without Drake, stated that their fathers and Presidents knew Fela even before the Nigerian superstar. He further added that Nigerians stars do not need Sean Paul or Drake to be known as the stars they are.

Here is the video and what he wrote below;

They are born with pride, that's why Trump would wants China to ass lick them even with China's achievements so far.

Pride always comes before a mighty fall,sha!

Nigerians and the bash the messenger and not the message mentality.. committing the sin of ad hominem
The point they are making is clear nd not controversial..
When drake brought out wizkid everyone expected him to be the face of new school afrobeat the way Sean Paul became the face of reggae.But he hasn't reached that yet.. Nd he is still unknown to an average american..As they said, they know him bkaz they are musicheads so this "if nobody knows him,how do you know him" defence doesn't fly..
Saw a comment on IG of someone saying all her black American friends know him..Blacks only make up 13% of americans so that sample isn't representative of the whole America..
And y'all saying who needs America,wizkid doesn't need to blow in America..
If wizkid makes just one top 10 billboard song, He wud make more money than he has made from his last 5hit songs combined..
It is the biggest music industry in the world!!!!

they are some bunch of underground DJs dont mind them

Wizkid is nothing in America without drake. Who know wizkid in america. Una think it's easy to break into the American music space.

He may be a big star in Nigeria and Africa, but then a gain many Americans stIil thinks Africa is a country..that how much little they know of us.

When you take out southafrica and Egypt there little left to know about africa. So make una no raise shoulder.

You a third world country. There range of dealings are with first world.many of You are very class conscious so you can ralate with this in a broader sense.

ayusco85:
You won't mind your business now. You that your music career is in comatose

How does what you just said relate to the issue at hand ? What wrong did he do by calling out some braths talking down on our own Wizkid and afrobeat ? instead of you to commend him for standing by Wizzy you are here abusing him. Mcheww !!

Typical Naija way...emotional response to a debate or dialogue, I disagree with a lot of things the guy was saying bt somethings were true, Afrobeat needs a face and don't say Fela, Fela created the Genre but that was it, the genre took off and now Afrobeat is bigger than Fela...

Please this is the link to the complete discussions, listen and make up your own mind...https:///2XaG1Fu

Harry could have made his point without calling someone an albino, if the American DJ's believes no no one knows who whizzy is that's there problem, offering a different point of view without name calling or insults is actually a sign of maturity..Harry needs to grow up.. WizKid is capable of defending himself, you are not his mouthpiece..

Yes is true, even some Nigerians in diaspora don't know them, forget all these noises they make. One popular American musician said some time ago in Lagos that he has never heard about Fela before.

An average Nigerian citizen cannot sustain a rational argument. They always resort to abuse. Ay and Basketmouth filled auditoriums for shows in London since the fall of last decade. Does it mean they are popular comedians in London? Nope. They are the best in Nigeria but have a particular and minute audience in England and the audience largely consist African immigrants and few of their English friends.

In my opinion there is nothing wizkid or Davido is doing that Psquare or D'banj didn't do. If you want to rate them as known around the world because of international collaborations then D'banj had the likes of Kanye West, Snoop Dogg work with him. He even signed as a Good Time artiste (Kanye West's record label) and performed shows in America side by Side with Kanye West and those top artistes then. He was even in Akon's clique. Same with the defunct Psquare. Rick Ross, T. I collaborations and that Akon clique. The Psquare brothers did beat indigenous London Artistes to win a one million dollars cash prize in one musical competition then. They always did perform that Michael Jackson pop dance that thrilled the Foreign audience then.
Despite their achievements you wouldn't compare them with American and British artistes who are citizens.
The hype around Wizkid and Davido is big because of their career rivalry and the popularity of social media. Davido fans will always want to present Davido as more popular and vice versa. Like a religion, when you tell them the truth from their enclaves that they (their artistes) are not big outside English speaking African countries like the Nigerian media portray them to be, they begin to attack you mentioning how broke you are than wizkid, how they can buy your family, how unpopular you are and so on. The real people who have first hand experience of their sojourn abroad wouldn't say anything because of the hostility and fear of abuse by their Nigerian followers.

Angelfrost:
I don't know which is even more disrespectful: the fact that the idiot dragged Fela's name into Wizkid's matter, or that he attempted to compare Fela's music with the semi-trash Wizzy has been churning out, especially in recent times...

Maybe, if Nigerian artistes didn't go begging foreign artistes all the time for collabos, some of these insults would have been unuttered... Fela, Sunny Ade, Ebenezer Obey, Sunny Okosun, etc.. didn't need all that asslicking when their exceptional talents and quality of music were enough to break international barriers... In case those names flew over your young heads, lemme drop these too: Angelique Kidjo, Hugh Maskela, Yvonne Chaka Chaka, Brenda Fassie, etc...

Summary: our artistes must seriously start doing real music, and cut out the unAfrican noise.

it's kunda harsh...but I guess they werw relating it to American clime

So, was Wizkid well known in U.S prior to the Drake collaboration? If yes, which song of his was recognized by Billboards, Academy Music, and other top American music associations?... Before you indulge in half-truths, remember Google is within my purview... I will wait.

Kenturkey048:
just the way we fucking don't know them in Africa...

Tell the idiot. I don't why we keep supporting people who always talk down on our own.

dont8:
Are you going to cast Harrysong for standing up for Wiz, David and others as well?

Nigerian are crazy, we are our own enemies. Instead of supporting Harry song for Defending our own against these Albinos talking down on us, they are busy lashing our on Harry song, no wonder this people Don't respect us.

I'm not here to argue with WIZKID known or not known I'm just telling you it is very harsh to slam a person of WIZKID like that. Known or not known DRAKE saw what you or the DJ's did not see. What did DRAKE saw in NINIOLA before he starts following her on Instagram.

Urhobokwaleboy:
A nigga once said:am just laughing at Harry song. You be musician and you dey insult American djs. As a business man you should learn to talk to people because na them go fit determine if you go sell or not.. Check the likes of dangote ,you hardly hear him comment on most issue..

Maybe wizkid know of this that why he has not made any comment yet or his trying to think of a reasonable comment to make. Harrysong you better watch the way you talk else your career go just quick die.....

Go and sit down please, who knows these DJ's? What gives them the Effrontery to talk down on our artist and you want Us to keep Quite? No wonder you people become ass lickers and slaves to these white idiots.
