Also, the South African artist Focalistic faces heavy criticism from the majority of social media users as Nigerians attribute global recognition of the Amapiano genre to Davido.
While Amapiano is undeniably a South African genre, artists like DJ Maphorisa, Uncle Waffles, Kabza De Small, and Focalisitc have been actively working to popularize the sound worldwide.
However, Twitter erupted with controversy when it was suggested that the global spread of the genre was catalyzed by Davido’s involvement in the remix of the hit track “Ke Star.”
“Davido is the one who made Amapiano go worldwide after the Remix with Focalistic Ke Star South Africa need to be grateful to him because he made Amapiano go international,” a Nigerian tweep wrote.
