For the sake of those of you who were still cuddling your pillows in this Lagos rain, and have no idea what’s going on between Mr Eazi and Runtown , let’s take a quick recap for you while you sip on your tea!
It all started when “Leg Over” singer, Mr Eazi claimed that he pioneered the Ghanaian-Nigerian fusion Afrobeats that Nigerian music artistes use now.
In his own words,
“the speed at which I’ve moved is scary to me cause it took my contemporaries 5, 6 years. It’s like everybody just realized that yo what formula is Mr Eazi using…ok we’re gonna end up doing it’.
Now, we know that the singer didn’t mention any names yeah… but who else is more conversant with the Ghanaian-Nigerian fusion thingy than “Mad over you” crooner, Runtown himself?
Enough has been said about the merger between the Ghanaian and Nigerian sound since Mr Eazi introduced the Banku music to us.
The singer who schooled in Ghana was recently quoted throwing shades at Nigerian artistes for using the ‘Mr Eazi formular’ in their sound.
Eazi, in an interview with Capital Xtra fm claimed he started the movement and now 60% of Nigerian artistes are jumping on it.
Well, ‘mad over you‘, Runtown after seeing Eazi’s interview tweeted what looks like a subtle reply to Mr Eazi’s claim.
