How Davido and Hush Puppi turned Nigerians into beggars on twitter

So I was busy at work, but decided to take a quick Twitter break, then this tweet from @Sir_xcel caught my attention.

Shabba: why wizkid should never smoke America Igbo again

wizkid

Firstly, i must confess that i have no technical knowledge about music, movies or any other thing at that. I actually know a lot of Bible verses, just so you don't confuse my evaluation for that of a professional critic. But what exactly was Wizkid, Chris Brown, Trey songz and french Montana smoking when they made that mind blowing 'shabba' song? by the way Wizkid and Tinie did a great job on the, 'Mamacita' track. Indeed, 'i like their style!' especially Tinnie's rap. But what exactly was wizkid and his oyinbo friends thinking when they wrote and recorded that 'shabba' song?

Davido, Wizkid and the Global boom awaiting Nigerian Music

Davido in Dallas

Just recently, New York based Fader magazine, an entertainment magazine featured Davido in its most recent edition, tagging him 'African pop music fortunate son'. This was in reaction to his Sony Global music recording deal which has been rumoured to worth a whooping $1m.

Fader magazine went ahead to headline and indeed feature Davido in its annual music show 'Fader Fort' in Austin, Texas. The event which held over the weekend saw Davido performing his monster hit 'Aye' to a delighted crowd of mostly white teenagers.

Although the crowd was obviously entertained, however there was a level of curiosity and appraisal attached to their response. It was very clear that Davido's music and sound was quite new to them. Yes! a few of them may have heard Wizkid's magical 'Ojuelegba' but a larger majority are still oblivious to the beautiful sounds and music emanating from Nigeria.

If the saying 'time would tell' is anything to go by, then i believe that with the youthful zest and ambitiousness of the likes of Wizkid and Davido, the beautiful Nigerian music and sound we enjoy here would soon become a huge global export, with Nigerian artistes and producers constantly in Global demand. Just wait on it you white folks, Nigerian Music is coming for y'all.
