Veteran Nigerian Rapper, M.l Abaga has dropped his 2 cents on Afrobeats Superstar Wizkid’s controversial declaration that rap is no longer relevant.

In a recent interview with 10 magazine, Wizkid declared Afrobeat genre of music as the new pop, adding that rap genre of music is dead.

Reacting in a post shared on Twitter on Friday, M.l Abaga penned down a message to Nigerian Rappers, urging his colleagues to focus on their craft, adding that the genre will keep growing.

He wrote: “The energy around HIPHOP right now feels right.. I know most rappers are still not the most popular yet.. but right now is time for us to focus on the craft.. just keep getting better.. this year we did so well as a genre and next year we grow!!!!”
