Nigerian musician Iyanya has responded to a social media user who dismissed his musical accomplishments while explaining why Wizkid is “hated” in the music industry.
In a recent social media exchange, Iyanya was offended when a troll compared his career path to that of Wizkid.
A tweeter named @Xperience_Snr shared a statement from @itzbasito complimenting Wizkid on exceeding expectations and becoming an industry standard.
“Wizkid’s only crime is surpassing the benchmark set for him and becoming the benchmark himself” he tweeted.
Reposting it, @Xperience_Snr stated that Wizkid was anticipated to follow in the footsteps of Iyanya and Samklef, implying that their careers fell short of expectations.
“Same reason why Drake gets a lot of hate. The whole entertainment industry didn’t expect that little tiny white boy to get that far, Wizkid was supposed to end up like Samklef and Iyanya” . @Xperience_Snr added.
