In a new video shared on his Instagram account, multi-award-winning rapper M.I Aka The Guy claimed that the reason he can speak with such authority on Hip Hop in Nigeria is because no one has struggled as hard for rap in Nigeria as he has.Information Guide Nigeria

The video was created in response to Wizkid’s comments towards hip-hop and Nigerian rappers. In an interview with 10 Magazine UK, the Afrobeats megastar declared that Hip Hop is dead and that he is tired of the sameness in beat and lyrics.

Wizkid later doubled down on his statement, labeling Nigerian musicians as broke and claiming that Sarkodie, Nasty C, and Black Sherif are the only rappers in Africa.NYSC portal
