Nigerian artist Dice Ailes has stirred up controversy in the Afrobeats scene with his recent claims of influencing the new generation of artists.
In a series of tweets, Ailes stated, “I influenced the new generation of Afrobeats artists, both in sound and fashion. I see myself as one of the ‘GOATS’ in the game.” Known for his hit singles “Alakori,” “Otedola,” and “Dicey Baba,” Ailes‘ bold assertion of being one of the “greatest of all time” (GOAT) has raised eyebrows among fans.
It remains to be seen what propelled such a bold statement, leaving fans to wonder what caused this outburst.

Recall, Dice Ailes expresses his frustration with Sony Music, accusing the record label of not properly promoting his songs.
The artist claimed that he had a long-standing business arrangement with Sony Music, but when things didn’t move forward, both sides decided to end it.
He claimed that the record label is impeding the release of his work , noting that they have some restrictions from their deal that are affecting the flow of things between them.
“I have been in business with Sony Music for years and sometime last year, we mutually agreed to terminate the contract because progress was stagnated and also we didn’t get the kind of investments we were expecting.
“Unfortunately, we still have some restrictions from that deal that are affecting the flow of things, our marking processes, and investments for my company. I was just really tired.
“The fans have been clamoring for new music from me for so long. And 2024 is just so important to me, for the fans to get the best of me. So out of frustration, I had to go on social media to call out Sony Music.”
