They called me a mad man. They told me that I was divisive. They also said I was incendiary.
But right in front of us, everything I have predicted is coming to pass.

Afrobeats is a mesmeric blend of #WestAfrican and Black American music that has quickly become a global pop phenomenon.

After losing his father at 13, Omah Lay kept his family alive by illegally refining crude oil in the creeks. After escaping death from the military, and from angry cultists looking for payback, superstardom hasn't washed away the demons.

Burna is innocent
I don’t agree with you on this.
The adrenaline rush.. Woah. Can't wait
He threatened the other artistes.
Thisssss!! The fact that you feel justified doing something, doesn’t change that the precedent it could set might just be disastrous
What's your podcast on spotify

On its way Chief. 🙏🏽
Today is Wednesday sir. Where's the podcast?
I agree with Joey Akan. They can deplatform portable for what he did or said especially when it contravenes the values of HipTV and Headies awards. But would they do the same for other guys? The more ‘refined’ and indispensable ones.
Listened to Joey Akan’s space, very sound mind he’s got! I see a lot of people acting brand new like your favs don’t be openly beating niggas up,throwing gang signs in music videos and shooting clubs up, portable is just an easy target. End of story
Let me recommend some really interesting podcasts to you, I promise you will love them.
A thread 🧵
1. Afrobeats Intelligence: The name is almost self explanatory. The host, @JoeyAkan interviews the biggest afrobeats stakeholders. The episodes are always so enlightening.

There's an unnecessary paternalistic tone with this post "Let's sanitise the game"
Award shows should not be gatekeepers of morality, and rescinding the nomination for the reasons given is a very weak move IMO
let artists be artists

Nobody give a fuck about artist development anymore and that shit fucked up, s/o to a&r’s that still believe in it.
Wahala!
Portable on @AfrobeatsIntel ...@JoeyAkan we go like see this one ooo😭😭😭
My favorite Afrobeats Intelligence episode has to be the @Zlatan_Ibile one.
That interview(conversation) characterized him in a different light than the one we were used to, and @JoeyAkan just let him talk and only chimed in when it was necessary. Love it!

Tomorrow morning or the next, after his run; @JoeyAkan is going to 🧵 and then start plotting to get “Barry” on the podcast
😅😘
