The ‘Bad To Me’ crooner, speaking in a recent interview with 10 magazine, said he doesn’t listen to rap because the genre is ‘dead, boring and tired’.
He said rappers recycle the same beat, sound and rhythm, all the time and it’s out of style. The superstar singer added that Afrobeat has taken over and is currently the trending genre of music.
His words,
“Afrobeats is the new pop. I sold two million copies in America off of one song! Even some American artists don’t have a diamond record.
If I’m being honest, I don’t listen to any other genre of music anymore.”
“I don’t listen to rap – that shit is boring to me. It’s dead now, it’s tired. These guys do the same shit, rap on the same beats and the same flows,” he added.
“No disrespect to nobody. I don’t have anything against rap or any other type of music. I have a lot of rappers as friends, like a lot. So I’m probably the wrong person to say this.”
A while back, Wizkid sparked reactions from his fans after he revealed his relationship status.
Taking to his Snapchat handle on Monday night, Wizkid, who recently welcomed his second child with his manager, Jada, said he’s single.
