Popular Nigerian rapper, Ladipo Eso better known Ladipoe has shared his thoughts about Wizkid’s comment about rap music.
It is no longer news that Wizkid dropped a controversial statement about rap music recently. The “Essence” hitmaker during an interview argued for the dominance of Afrobeats over Hip Hop.
Wizkid further said the rap music genre is dead and boring. He berated Nigerian rappers by labelling them as non rappers and addressed them as being broke.
According to the Mavin records signee, “Wizkid is very influential and nobody needs to be insulted.’ Everyone is working so hard and pushing a platform that they truly believe in.
“Although the country, I think he was only speaking about his general perspective on rap music. didn’t specify. Ladipoe detailed that he has so much respect for Wizkid, however, everyone is entitled to their opinions”.

boyeligram: Ladipoe make sense here , man that a wise talk , y’all should listen to the message his trying to pass to y’all #ladipoe #wizkid #wisetalk.
freshestemma: Intelligent guy!. The first three sentences was simply to calm hardcore FC guys down before dropping the wise words. My point is, if you’re that influential then you shouldn’t say stuff that could demoralize those who look up to you. Try to criticize constructively without broke-shaming.
bobzykoozy: Lol Wizkid Said Sarkodie , and co are the only real Rappers Abeg which Country en dey talk again .
countryfresh_cars: Wait Wizkid wasn’t referring to Naija Rappers or African Rappers. Was he referring to the American rapper? Abeg make we just give American Space. Those people crazy gan, dem no go wan even do diss track dem go just wan shot am. I swear I just dey look this FC wen them go shot am for US who na eye go clear. This FC be like people wen go add fire but once he set dem go japa. Make who na continue dey give am ginger sai na American rapper him dey talk to. Those once no dey waste time with them gun. If them fit shot TAKEOFFF who be Wizkid.
mayorkaybaba: Ogbeni keep shut jor make u find somewhere to seat.
dirantoberd: Personally I think it’s because wiz is not the type that talks much that’s why these people are all getting heated on or it’s because they’ve always been finding a way or mistake from him to just launch an attack on him. Nigerian artists have said things that are worse and even among the Rap genre but this one is not even a big deal at all. M.I did a song calling out all rappers to fix up their lives . That’s even more direct  Wetin com be this one@.
