They’ll soon say Afrobeats is dead – Skales reacts to Wizkid’s comment
In an exclusive interview with Hip TV, Nigerian singer-songwriter Skales weighed in on Wizkid’s 2022 declaration that “rap is dead.” Offering his perspective, Skales emphasized the cyclical nature of musical trends, suggesting that what’s in vogue today may undergo a transformation in the future.
Skales highlighted the inevitability of shifts in popularity within the music industry, emphasizing the importance of adaptability. He aptly noted that one’s prominence today does not guarantee the same level of success tomorrow, underscoring the ever-changing landscape of music.
His remarks resonate against the backdrop of a rapidly evolving music industry, serving as a reminder that musical styles, like rap, are subject to cycles of rise and fall.
Ultimately, Skales‘ insights offer a valuable reminder of the dynamic nature of the music industry, where trends come and go, and adaptability is key to longevity and relevance.
“Wizkid has his own opinion, my own logic is everything has time and season and there is going to be another recycle. If you are hot today, you might not be hot tomorrow.”
