Few hours after award winning artist Wizkid floored rappers, some of them have launched a counter attack to affirm their relevance.
Wizkid began his rant on Friday via an instagram post, claiming that he doesn’t listen to rap music because it is boring and the rappers use the same beat.
He continued on Saturday calling Nigerian rappers broke.
This sparked a lot of angry reactions from netizens.
