Every year, the conversation on whether or not Hip Hop music is dead in Nigeria keeps surfacing. The latest person to stir this conversation was Wizkid, who, last week, touted rappers as ‘broke boys’, stereotyping the gender as ‘boring and dead to him.’ Rappers from MI Abaga to Ladipoe and Blaqbonez all shared their reaction differently.
Interestingly, while some took a defensive position, and some playing the maturity card, avoiding conflict, others like Ola Dips milked the situation by recording a reply diss track, using it to promote his career, Vector is the round peg in a square hole who believes that ignorance is the seed that is germinating these frequent controversies.
The Lagos-born rapper, sound whiz, and philosopher, just stepped out with his latest album dubbed, TESLIM: The Energy Still Lives In Me. Since Vector, born Olanrewaju Ogunmefun, had his 2020 spat with MI Abaga, the musician has been on everyone’s radar as one of the finest veterans in the rap scene.
