CKay Speaks On Comparison With Davido, Wizkid, Burna Boy

Emo-Afrobeats singer CKay has said that he gets upset when he sees people disrespecting or making comparisons between the generation of singers that paved way for his generation.

In a series of tweets on Wednesday, the ‘Emiliano’ crooner asked that music legends be given the appreciation they deserve while they are still here.

Speaking further, he hailed Davido, Wizkid and Burna Boy for showing him that he can achieve whatever he sets his mind on.

“When I see people disrespecting our ?s on this app or making silly comparisons, it actually upsets me. Give your ?s their flowers while they’re still here! They paved the way!

“Davido showed me that getting plaques with afrobeat songs is possible, Wizkid showed me that where you come from doesn’t limit how far you can go, and Burna Boy showed me that delay is not denial.”

CKay mentioned that he and Dice Ailes created a sound but a lot of people twisted the fact and accused them of copying the sound they created.

“Back in my CC days, Dice Ailes and I created a sound that birthed a whole new wave of afrobeats.

"It’s so funny how today some people twist the narrative and say we copied a sound we created lol.

“At the end of the day we’re all just playing our roles.

"One day we’ll all die and it won’t matter anymore.

"Afrobeats is one of the few things giving us joy in this country.

"Let’s just love and support our own. It’s possible to hype your fave without putting down another artist,” he tweeted.
