Nigerian rapper turned entrepreneur, Kel has lamented over how show promoters treat Nigerian rappers.
Her rant was triggered after attending a concert where American rapper, J. Cole performed.
She revealed how concert-goers sang along to both new and old songs of the rapper, to the surprise of the singer.
Kel wrote on Twitter: “After witnessing J.Cole perform last night, with a basic band and DJ, and 2 backup singers, and seeing so many people rapping along to old and new songs (KOD), I’d like to ask, why exactly do we have a problem with rap music in Nigeria?And by basic, I mean he had the regular band instruments; drums, keyboard, bass etc. Nothing too fancy. It was just him, the singers and a big stage with his mic stand.
“After last night, you can’t tell me Nigerians don’t like rap music, cos this album was just released about a week ago. And then he Cole performed some old stuff, which people sang along to as well with just as much, even more enthusiasm
“So again, I ask, why exactly do we have a problem with hip hop in Nigeria??? And I’m talking real hip hop? Why do we “shun” the hip hop artists we have over here? Why do we not support and love them as much”.
