CurrentReport Blog Nigerian singer Iyanya recently found himself at the center of a social media storm when a user compared his career to that of the acclaimed artist Wizkid. The comparison sparked controversy and led to a heated exchange between Iyanya and the social media user.
It all began when a social media user, @itzbasito, made a comment suggesting that Wizkid’s success had surpassed expectations, unlike Iyanya’s career trajectory. The comment implied that Wizkid had become the standard of excellence in the music industry, while artists like Iyanya were seen as falling short.
Unsurprisingly, Iyanya was not pleased with the comparison and took to social media to express his frustration. In response to the comment, he fired back with a sharp retort, indicating that the commenter would end up like their father.
In addition to defending himself against the comparison, Iyanya also spoke out against the toxicity prevalent in social media spaces. He lamented the tendency for users to undermine the hard work and dedication that artists put into their craft over the years.
