Nigerian singer Mr Eazi confirms Kenyan artists worst nightmare: Kenyans love foreign music more

Nigerian singer Mr Eazi has been in Kenya a lot of times and apparently, it’s because Kenya, and East Africa in general, has a lot to offer. In currency form that is.

The singer confessed that East Africa, particularly Kenya, are among the highest paying concert spots for African artists. The singer openly confessed how easy it was to walk into Kenya and get paid KSh 10 million for a single show, contrary to how it is back in his home country Nigeria.

Easy money

Speaking in an interview with OKayAfrica, the singer shared that East Africa is very receptive.

”East Africa is arguably the most receptive spot for music. In East Africa, they listen to hip-hop, they listen to their local music, they also listen to music from the West of Africa, they listen to pop. So in recent times, asides from when I do festivals or branded shows in the UK or wherever,” Eazi said.

”Nobody is going to pay you $100,000 in Nigeria to do a show, or even $60,000 to come and jump on stage for a set. But you can easily get that money by walking into Kenya or walking into Gambia. So those places should be the ones I focus on. Also, when we dropped Keys to the City, which was not a single and we saw the views on YouTube, the bulk was from East Africa,” he added. 

He went on to say that he would definitely perform in Kenya than his country Nigeria given the sweet deals Kenyans offer. The comments comes after Kenyan artists protests that DJs and presenters have given international artists priority over them.

”It is the only place that I can perform without a curated set. If I perform in Nigeria or UK it’s a curated set. But if I perform in East Africa, I can perform every song from Major Lazer to Lotto Boyz to Lady Leshurr, and all the songs on Accra to Lagos. All, I can perform all the songs before that project,” he said. 

Don’t Die for Another Man’s Ambition- Mr Eazi Advises his Followers

Mr. Eazi has advised his followers not to kill themselves for the ambitions of another person. This was in a tweet which he shared yesterday, the 31st of January.

As the 2019 elections are drawing closer, celebrities and other well meaning Nigerians are joining their voices as one to discourage electoral violence. It is in this light that the singer has made this plea to Nigerians.

Nigerian singer Mr. Eazi explains why he used Lamba lolo phrase in his new song

The phrase Lamba Lolo has now become a household name and almost every one in Kenya, and the better part of East Africa is familiar with it thanks to four kids who call themselves Ethnic.

We have seen South African singer Nasty C use it on social media and now Nigerian singer Mr Eazi has come out to share how it made it in his new song.

Speaking to Nation, the singer said Kenyans encouraged him to use the popular phrase.

 “In Kenya people love my song “Keys to the City” because of the line that goes “Lamba lolo, lolo lamba”. I will not go into what it means in sheng but in the streets of Nigeria “lamba” mainly means “sweet stories”. One can say, “My friend is giving me lamba”; although its meaning can also change depending on the context of what you’re talking about.”

Support of upcoming artists

Mr Eazi, who is also known to support upcoming artists in Africa, shared of his experience with upcoming guys in Kenya.

“The emerging Kenyan artiste I’m now working with is Rosa (Rosalie Akinyi). She was one of those who responded to the Tweet I had put out. When I came for the Nairobi concert in April, she came with her producer to my hotel and we set up the studio. We worked together on a song, including the song-writing, and my producers worked with her too. I feel that her energy is a factor that could make her blow up,” he said.

Other African artists started coming to London after I did

Mr Eazi as been all over our phones and laptops in the past weeks and the entertainer surely wants it to remain that way. Following the strife over Ghana influence on Nigeria Music, Mr Eazi  has brought in another argument that the internet will rave on.

“I felt like ever since I came and did quite a lot in  London, a lot of African artists have started coming to London.It’s like London is the Afrobeat 101.So I just feel like anyone can come and do a concert and it’s shown I’m happy and a lot of artists have been able to come and do concerts but I personally feel like Afro beats is what it is right now,it’s a wave”

But even after this, Mr Eazi’s concert turned out massive in London.

”You sound like a Ghanaian and we accepted you because it is still an African vibe, how can you say something like that? That is pride, you are stupid and you are a fool”

To Davido, Eedris rained courses and even switched to Yoruba to make the course effective.

Reacting to the Video, Davido chose a lighthearted approach, he wrote“LMAO” on Goldmyne.tv’s comment section and on Instablog, he also made a comment “HENJOYING, great guy none the less”.

Eedris Abdulkareem’s out pour came as a reaction to recent comments by Mr. Eazi concerning Nigerian music and Ghanaian music. Eedris being one of the pioneers of modern Naija music didn’t find Mr. Eazi’s comments funny at all thus the Mr. Lecturer crooner felt the need to caution him as an elder brother in the industry.

I Quit $6000/ Month Job For Music – Mr Eazi

Nigeria singer, Mr Eazi has revealed why he went into music. In an interview with Beat Fm, the singer revealed he had to dump his job which paid him about six thousand dollars per month in order to find fulfillment in music.
According to him, his family hated him for leaving his job but love him now since his breakthrough after two first shows in London.

“After I came back from Ghana, I got a job in oil and gas in Port Harcourt that paid about six thousand dollars per month but I quit because I was not finding fulfillment in it. I mean it was the same thing everyday, the same routine over and over again.
“The decision to quit the job finally hit me when my boss’ wife left him even with all the money he had.
‘After I left my job, I got my Masters degree and with all that qualification, I started selling phones in computer village and everyone thought something was wrong with me.
“Even my mother started praying special prayers for me but my father didn’t add that final voice that would have decided my fate.
‘My break finally came after I got an invite to do two shows in London that made me twelve thousand pounds which I used to shoot two videos. When I told my mother what I did with the money, she stopped talking to me for about three weeks.
“I had to move in with a friend because even my relatives didn’t want me around but everything finally changed when I went back to London for shows that fetched me really good money”.

Shade Or Nah – Mr Eazi Says Nigerian Artistes Copying His Style

In an interview with Capital Xtra radio in the UK, Mr Eazi spoke about his rise to fame, his relationship with Wizkid and other aspects about the music he makes. however, it seems the portion of whether or not his style of music is being copied by other Nigerian artistes is what has brought about the most attention. He talked about how most of the top Afrobeat acts to come out of Africa are either from Ghana or Nigeria and this makes the music similar. The Afrobeat sensation, Mr Eazi also spoke about how a lot of Nigerian artists are not original.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BY5IG34nIri/?hl=en&taken-by=krakstv

He stated that lately most Nigerian acts have started to incorporate Twi words such as “Maame, sika, odo, banku and waakye” into their songs. He said this phenomenon came about as a result of the popularity of his music.

A lot of Nigerians are not happy with his statements and are already calling him names on social media. On the other hand, his Ghanaians fans are in support of him and giving examples of such songs. If you would remember, earlier in the year, he tweeted that Nigerian music is heavily influenced by the Ghanaian sound. Such statements lead people to question where his loyalties lie.

So far no Nigerian artiste has come out to refute or deny his assertion. We will keep you posted of any development.
