Following Wizkid’s outburst, Tunde Ednut, Verydarkman, and others discuss his objection to the term “Afrobeats artist.”
The Grammy-winning Nigerian musician revealed the name of his upcoming album, “Morayo,” in a series of posts on his Instagram stories on Friday night.
However, the hitmaker of “Ojuelegba,” who also released the hit song “Pakurumo” in 2011, cautioned the public that the project is not for lovers of Afrobeats.
Other celebrities from Nigeria, such as Tunde Ednut, were taken aback by Wizkid’s position after seeing his post. Afrobeats’ importance and its enduring link to Nigerian culture were emphasised by Tunde.
Wishing Wizkid well with his next album, Tunde promised to download it in support if it lives up to his expectations.

“WIZKID IS AT IT AGAIN TONIGHT,Oo! It is well..,We, we love Afrobeats and Afrobeats is ours forever. We are proud of it and Afrobeats is here to stay.,All the best in his forthcoming Album. If it’s good, we’ll still download it”
