Patoranking is the most recent Nigerian artiste to lash out at Mr. Eazi for saying it Nigerian artistes are utilizing his sound to make hits.
In a current meeting with Cool FM, Patoranking expressed how he exited Nigeria for Ghana and did not make it. He likewise said Mr. Eazi did not import Ghanaian sounds into Nigeria. He said it had been there since.
Read what he said below:
“Nigerians are very powerful people and if they like your song, you are likely to be a success in Africa.
There was a point in my life that I traveled to Ghana in search of greener pastures but I ended up trekking and sleeping on the streets. I decided to come back to Nigeria.
We Can Let You Be An Upcoming Artiste” – Nigerians attacks Mr.Eazi
Then I released ‘Alubarika’ and ‘Girlie O.’ Both songs were a hit and in no time, I was invited to perform in Ghana, Kumasi Stadium to be precise.
When they came to pick me, I counted the number of cars and it was 13. I was very surprised but was grateful to God.”
He also disagreed with Mr. Eazi’s claim of introducing Nigerians to the Ghanaian sound.
“We have been having this cultural exchange with Ghana way back since the time Tuface sang ‘My love’ which featured VIP from Ghana. Tic Tac and Tony Tetuila sang ‘Fefe ne efe.’
Nigerian artistes are now copying me – Mr Eazi
The musical cultural exchange between Nigeria and Ghana has been going on even before I finished secondary school. It is false for Mr. Eazi to say he started that style of music because he did not help me sing my hit song, ‘My Woman.’
I did it myself and the song is a global hit song. It is the biggest afrobeat song in the Caribbean. I do not agree with his statement. It is wrong.”
