Rapper, Ladipoe finally reacts to Wizkid’s public shade

Ladipoe, a Nigerian hip-hop artist, has finally spoken out about the recent controversy with Wizkid, clarifying that his initial tweet was meant as a lighthearted joke.

He had playfully poked fun at Wizkid’s previous statement that “hip hop is dead” and drew parallels between the challenges faced by hip-hop artists in the past and the current discussions surrounding Afrobeats.

However, Wizkid responded dismissively, throwing shade at both Ladipoe and his boss, Don Jazzy.

In a recent interview, Ladipoe set the record straight, explaining that his tweet was not meant to be taken seriously and was simply a commentary on the ever-changing nature of music genres and the fleeting nature of industry narratives.

He stated, “The whole thing was a joke… I was amused by the chaos that ensued.”

Ladipoe emphasized that his tweet was aimed at the audience and anyone who believes in the narrative that a genre is dead, not specifically at Wizkid or any other artist.

By clarifying his intentions, Ladipoe has put the controversy to rest, showing that his tweet was meant to be a humorous commentary on the music industry, rather than a personal attack on Wizkid or anyone else.
