He said that the singers he mentioned played an important role in his rise to fame.
His words are:
“I feel like I wouldn’t have been here if it weren’t for the previous generation – Burna, Wiz, Davido and Olamide – they are the reasons why I am here right now and I am doing it like this. Yeah, I can’t say for sure what exactly it is that I am doing differently; I’m just doing me and it is what it is.”

In other news Daniel Regha, a popular Twitter critic has lambasted Nigerian singers Asake and Omah Lay, accusing them of insulting Christianity in their new music videos.
Daniel Regha specifically targeted Asake’s new video for the song “Only Me” and Omah Lay’s “Holy Ghost” track.
Daniel Regha, an influential Twitter user, criticized Asake for what he saw as a clear disdain for Christianity in the “Only Me” music video.
He pointed out instances in which Asake wore attire, participated in Holy Communion, and displayed an inverted cross, which is commonly seen as an anti-Christian sign.
Daniel Regha contended that the song itself had no religious subject or mention of the Roman Catholic Church, making the use of such aggressive imagery superfluous and disrespectful to the Christian religion.
He stressed that the inclusion of religious symbols and gestures in the video, directed by TG Omori, constituted purposeful insensitivity rather than artistic expression.
The Twitter user did not stop with Asake; he also criticized Omah Lay for his “Holy Ghost” single, claiming that it was derogatory to Christianity.
Daniel Regha argued that Omah Lay’s song and Asake’s video were offensive and that any Christian who appreciated them was mocking God.
Furthermore, Daniel Regha slammed TG Omori, the music producer who directed the contentious videos.
He accused TG Omori of repeatedly utilizing his video creations to incite sacrilege.
Solomon Buchi also tackled Asake on Twitter after he released visuals for his chart-topping song, ‘Only Me’.
He said:
“Asake keeps disrespecting the Christian faith in his music videos. Dramatizing giving the Eucharist, robed up in priestly regalia for a music video that has no connection with Christianity is disrespectful,”
“In his Bandana video, he depicts black goats troping into the church, with cloven tongues of fire above weird men. Asake, I think, is a Muslim. Why doesn’t he go above and beyond to embarrass his Muslim faith in this same way?
“Why do Christians even listen to these musicians who bluntly disrespect Christianity?” Solomon Buchi, the life coach, wrote
