Amazing to witness us retelling our ancestors' stories on our own terms. In a city where our stolen Benin Bronzes are kept, a Benin boy donning a Queen Idia mask reclaimed the narrative at his sold-out O2 London concert. A night of cultural reclamation and pride! #Rema02Live
There was so much symbolism with the entrance
Rema rode the mystical horse wearing the Queen Idia mask just like our ancestors. A subtle nod to Benin/Edo
When the cage lifted, he really set himself free

All due respect to Swizz but no! Wizkid supported by Nigerian Diaspora, nigerian music industry and years of hard work brought Wizkid to the US. See it’s stuff like this that … we need more people to tell the story of Afrobeats & Music from Nigeria, otherwise pple make up stuff
“Alicia Keys and I were the first people that introduced Wizkid to American audiences and I was also the first person to bring Burna Boy to the States.”

I’m convinced that @MI_Abaga has a surveillance team trolling me at @PrinceEbeano because every time I’m go an spend 💰 to buy unnecessary stuff from they play #thelovesong on loop 😫. Every time I pick up something All I hear is:

The bro @aproko_doctor is a perfect example of the hustle influencer that is ACTUALLY influential!!!! Please be like him
Showing my proud parents how their son is impacting lives with the @_The100kclub, they saw the panels and batteries that helped babies born in this hospital get proper care.
Their boy who helped sell akara and pap is bringing light and hope to many Nigerians.

I was nervous to share my ADHD gist in Nigerian spaces. But there is something powerful about telling you story and realizing you are not alone. I’ve been overwhelmed by the response. It makes building a platform on this issue even more worth it
ADHD(Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) can also affect your relationship with people. I also noticed that many people have it without knowing
I spoke with @MI_Abaga & @EniolaMafe about how they've dealt with it

Because this isn’t the usual story.

I was surprised to know that @MI_Abaga recorded hours of his real therapy sessions and chose to share snippets with the world. Think I may pester him to answer some questions on the project.
Share your questions below 👇🏾 I’ll see what I can do 😉:
“Yxng Dxnzl: A Study of Self Worth” is 5 today. This is very special to me as it is one of the most beautiful projects that I have ever released.
Grateful for the opportunity to share
Can still remember the conversations though. 🛖♥️

“So one thing that I have admired about u and your entire journey as an artiste
And when I think about the fact that you were in Jos
You left Jos went to Lagos
And you carried your community with u
Like you didn't go there and get famous
You know and just forget about everyone…”

1.“Call me Mr Fantastic.” – A
• Multisyllabic end rhyme “-tastic.” • Light m alliteration (“me, Mr”).
2.“Man’s flow stretch like rubber not plastic.” – Carries the -tastic/-astic family (fantastic/plastic). Simile (“like rubber not plastic”).
…
Peep the incredible rhyme scheme on @MI_Abaga's #MrFantastic song
Never seen this level of scheming done on a verse in Nigeria or Africa as a whole. HipHop is in a great place fr!

The first act of colonialism was to sever people from their beliefs, stripping away their spiritual anchors. Knowing your history and culture isn’t just awareness—it’s reclaiming the roots they tried to cut.
Well done on the new album @_WizardChan_
This is how my people chant and sing. Whoever brought up the idea that our songs are cultist music is actually just messing up someone’s culture to some people. Gyration is our thing. My song “Big masquerade” has nothing to do with Cultism, it’s a moral boost song. Please let’s educate ourselves

Wherever I go, whenever I speak with Nigerians
Whether through anger, sadness, hope, or fear
one thing is clear: we long to be proud of Nigeria.
Not just halfway, not with caveats, but fully, with our whole chest.
It’s a longing that unites us.

If you’ve heard of an artist, they’re already in the top 1% of musicians globally. Think about that. Fame alone means they beat impossible odds.
Are you in the top 1% of your field? Before you critique, we really need respect the climb and artist especially African artists
This isn’t about Wizkid; it’s about the constant delusion from certain fans/stans on this app.
You hear things like “We’re global” or “Our numbers are great,” but the reality is that even the biggest artists have had tours cancelled.
Let’s start respecting our true legends like Wizkid. Numbers don’t always tell the whole story.
The world is going through a GLOBAL RECESSION; you're here clowning a certified artist

It’s funny hearing those who talk about bad leadership as the only cause for Nigerias issues. When you beat your househelp, or cheat your employees of a decent wage, or insult the people you work with… the list goes on?!?! Good leadership needs to happen at all levels too

MI Abaga is culturally influencing as he is lyrically impressive. His appearance in the rap scene took the whole continent by storm. Only fair that years after his debut, young rappers still affirm this. Nasty C was perfectly spot on his assertion on MI been the finest.
