Nigerian artistes success has mostly been credited to their large fan bases, but dancehall artiste Stonebwoy thinks that their accomplishment extends further than that.
Nigerian musicians, he claims, are ahead of their African counterparts because they are competitive and optimistic.
“Truth be told, I’ve been discussing this with my Nigerian brothers. We’ve been trying to crack this but we all believe that the numbers factor is part of it and then that not been the number one for me, I admire my brothers for their tenacity, aggressiveness and also their mindset,” Stonebwoy told host Charlamagne Tha God on the Breakfast Club.
Speaking on the Breakfast Club in the United States recently, the Nominate hitmaker mentioned that even though he admired Nigerians for such qualities, he had no reservations about the instrumental roles of Ghanaian artistes towards the development of African music.
“And the beautiful thing is that we all tap into that because these are our brothers, no matter how you want to put borders around it, we are one people so it’s all of us in the end. We play our role, and they play their role as well,” he stated.
He also divulged how some of the Nigerian artistes have been praising Ghana for contributing to their success.
“Interestingly, every of their top-lister, find inspiration in Ghana. Burna says it often, Wizkid literally lives in Ghana, Davido is like a brother that’s 24/7 we’re together. We’re all playing our individual roles together out there, we cannot all be in the front seat,” he noted.
