“I brought Wizkid vibe into music comedy” – Comedian Kenny Blaq

Kenny Blaq, a popular comedian, has emphasized that he did not pioneer music comedy in Nigeria.

He recognized the late Gbenga Adeboye, CD John, and others for  paving the way for the music comedy genre in Nigeria.

He did, however, assert that he introduced “the Wizkid and Davido vibe” to the genre.

In a recent interview with Hip TV, Blaq stated, “Because of the way I did music comedy, a lot of people have the impression that I brought music comedy to Nigeria. Some people think that I started music comedy as a genre.

“But they were music comedians like the late Gbenga Adeboye, Fung Otong, MC Miracle, Maleke and late CD John. But I think what made mine different is my approach towards it.

“I brought the Wizkid and Davido vibe into it. And I was able to do different genres of music with my comedy.

“Those who did music comedy before me, did a particular style of music comedy. They were either doing Igbo or Yoruba music.

“But I was doing mashup, covers, and I was telling stories and I was consistent with it.

“I did not start music comedy but I can say that I’m one of those that have made music comedy strong in this part of the world.”
