Nigerian Celebrities know that one statement that doesn’t sit well with the public will get you in a cocnundrum of bashing. It doesn’t matter how much they like you, or you think they like you. That’s the hard lesson Mr Eazi is learning today.
Earlier in the evening, Mr Eazi made a statement about Ghanaian influence on Nigerian music, and that didn’t sit well with Nigerians. He said “Ghana’s influence on present day “Naija Sound” cannot be over emphasized!!!”. That’s all it took.

There’s influence across different countries in Africa when it comes to music, and even across the world. Maybe his wording could’ve been a bit different. But you suspect it wouldn’t have mattered.
Here’s how Nigerian reacted:
you've been singing in Gh for years, just one year ur song crossed border & came to Naija, you blow. Now you're here talking rubbish
