Hello there,
As we all know, there is currently a social media uproar regarding the first Nigerian artiste who introduced the popular South African beat “Amapiano” to Nigeria. Even May D claims to be the one who introduced the popular beat to Nigeria.
A-list artists such as Wizkid, Burna Boy, and Davido have recently jumped on this beat.
Wizkid released his much anticipated single “Bad To Me” today, September 14th, and the song has elicited a variety of reactions from fans.
Wizkid will appear on the beat for the second time, having previously appeared on Kabza De Small’s “Sponono” with Burna Boy in 2020.
On the other hand, Davido has been jumping on the amapiano beat more than the other guys. Songs such as “Champion Sound,” “Ke Star,” “High,” and others.
Burna Boy then appeared on DJ Tarico’s “Yaba Buluku,” another amapiano-infused song, before releasing “Different Size” with Victony on his album “Love, Damini.”
Other artists who have jumped on the amapiano beat include Zinoleesky, Asake, Niniola, Falz, Adekunle Gold, Mohbad, and many more. We can say that 90% of Nigerian artists have jumped on the amapiano beat.
So here is the question for you:
Davido, Burna Boy, Niniola, Wizkid, and others – Which Nigerian artist popularized Amapiano in Nigeria?
Let us know what you think.
