Legendary Nigerian Singer Innocent Idibia aka 2baba has called WIzkid one of the legends in his generation.
2baba who said this during a video interview pointed out that the word Legend has really been watered down.
Speaking on the lyrics of recent songs released by Wizkid, 2baba who defended Wizkid for lately releasing lyrically poor songs explained that the Ojuelegba crooner was giving fans of his generation what they want to hear but that he is loaded with lyrics.
Further speaking on a comparison between himself and Wizkid, 2baba said he sees himself as Maradona while Wizkid is like Messi and Ronaldo.
Describing Wizkid as his younger brother, the Grass to Grace crooner said that Wizkid has moved the game to the next level and that an artist from the next generation will pick it up from where Wizkid stops.
Wizkid is one of the legends of his generation. In as much as I want to say everybody is a legend these days, they don water down that word legend, e don dey watered down. Everybody wey get one hit now na legend. So when I use am for Wizkid, na young boy wey come up as him come up somehow him head dey there, this boy na boy wey be say if you want make him give you song wey get lyrics today him go give you. I know him, him know him own generation, him know as them take be, so him just dey give them. When you listen to songs like I the early 90’s, even ni Ojuelegba if you listen to a couple of other songs you will know that this guy lyrically he is there but he is just giving them what they want right now. I dey sure say when him old him go start to dey give them lyrical music to show them say “I dey there.” I dey look Wizkid say maybe I be like Maradona him be like Ronaldo and Messi. Na my younger brother, he has been holding it down, he has moved the game to the next level another person wey come after am; a younger person go carry from where him move am go to the next level.
