Wande Coal Reveals The Inspiration Behind His Album Title ‘Legend Or No Legend’
Renowned Afrobeat Artist Oluwatobi Wande Ojosipe, popularly known as Wande Coal, has revealed the inspiration behind the title of his forthcoming album, “Legend or No Legend.”
He came up with the concept for a suitable title for his third album after the heavyweight singer’s Twitter exchange.
‘Legend or No Legend,’ the award-winning falsetto vocalist’s third album and fourth project, was originally scheduled to be released on March 31st, 2023. However, the singer postponed the release date twice before announcing a new official date for the drop which is May 18th.
Wande Coal said in a recent interview with Dada Boy Ehiz on Apple Music Africa Now Radio that he was inspired to title the record “Legend or No Legend” after a Twitter disagreement centred on his position in the Nigerian music business.
The 37-year-old musician claims that the title was inspired by the dialogue that took place that day on the bird app, and he wants it known that the status conversation doesn’t affect him in the slightest because all he wants to do is produce music.
He said:
You know I’m not always on social media like that but there was a certain day I just noticed my phone was buzzing. I just didn’t understand so I went through my phone and it was on Twitter.
Somebody had said ‘“Is it right to call Wande Coal a legend?” And it turned into a problem.
I just didn’t have it, I just put “Legend or no legend, I just love making music” – that’s period – and that’s where I got the inspiration from. It’s good fun to ask so that through my music I can show them what I do.
