Popular rapper and actor Tobechukwu Ejiofor, professionally known as Illbliss, has stirred up a debate on social media after he claimed Burna Boy, Davido, and Wizkid were rappers.
Illbliss, during an interview, spoke about how the Hip-Hop genre lost numerous rappers, including the big three in the music industry, to the Afrobeats genre.
“We (Hip-Hop community) lost a lot of our soldiers; we lost Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Davido. Three of them were rappers,” the rapper said.
According to Illbliss, Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Davido were able to find success through Afrobeats, noting that many wouldn’t be as fortunate as himself, Olamide, Phyno, Reminisce, Vector and a few others who made it big through Hip-Hop.
“Hip Hop is tough in Nigeria,” Illbliss said.
