Singer CKay has criticized some of his fellow artists, saying they once mocked him for creating his unique version of Afrobeats but are now copying his style.
The ‘Love Nwantiti’ hitmaker stated that he pioneered many of the trends that Afrobeats artists benefit from today.
He specifically mentioned how he was one of the first to promote Afrobeats songs on TikTok and was ridiculed for it.
Now, he says, many of those who mocked him have adopted the same strategy.
In his words on X;
“history can’t be rewritten just because some people got paid to rewrite it…i’ll always be here to remind you.”
“CKay is the first. I pioneered many vibes Afrobeats artistes thrive off today…iykyk.”
“Y’all laughed when I came up with emo-afrobeat and was on TikTok all day but many are now doing the same thing, calling it ridiculous names (& making $$). you’re welcome sha.”
