Your fave musician has been hinting at the release of new music, and the day finally comes. Only for you to listen to the music and it turns out to be a hot mess. Your brain melts and you don’t know how to process it. Here’s a list of things to do:
1. Listen to the song again
You have to listen to the song as many times as possible because maybe there’s something your fave put inside that you’re not hearing. Your GOAT can’t just drop hot trash on you like that. Listen again.
2. Mourn the era you once loved
After listening as many times as possible, you’ve discovered your fave is indeed capable of mid. Now is the time to mourn. Weep for the albums and songs that existed when you still thought your fave was god. Immerse yourself in the greatness that once existed. Stream all their old songs and remind yourself why you became a fan in the first place. Does one fuck-up really change that?
3. Pray to the music gods it doesn’t happen again
It’s one thing for them to have a mid song, but for them to start consistently dropping mid songs? Ah! You have to go down on your knees and pray. Affliction cannot arise a second time.
4. Delete all the slander you’ve dropped against other musicians.
All the tweets, Facebook posts, Whatsapp fights, and whatnot, DELETE THEM. You don’t want people sending you “this you?” messages. The internet doesn’t forgive, but you can help them forget.
5. Delete the song from your memory
Just delete the song from your brain. Every single performance, merch, or tour relating to that song must be wiped out of your memory. It doesn’t exist and it shouldn’t exist and you won’t ever claim it outside.
6. Open a burner account and get some things off of your chest
Break your silence, but anonymously. People need to know that you think that the song is hot trash, but they shouldn’t be able to trace it back to you. You want to still pretend that your fave can do no wrong.
At the end of the day, your fave is your fave and you’re going to stand by them. They may drop hot trash once in a while, but we’ve all had our bad moments. They should leave your fave for you. Ahn ahn!
Since he broke out a decade ago, Wizkid has been one of afropop’s most consistent stars, blessing us with a ton of iconic hits. So, we decided to create a quiz that tells you which Wizkid song best suits your personality.
It is a fact, Nigerians on social media are savage and have zero chill. If you come for them, they will drag you all over the face of the Internet.
Which is what they are doing to a certain American singer.
So here’s what happened:
A couple days ago, this American singer, Pia Mia (not to be confused with Ota Pia Pia) released a song titled, “I’m a fan” with another singer, Jeremih.
The problem was, Phyno also had a song with the same title released in an album late last year.
Yes o. But that’s not all.
Pia Mia’s song was now very similar to Phyno’s song. In fact, eez like almost the same thing.
It’s very true o.
And naturally, when Nigerians found out they started shouting.
“THIEF! THIEF! THIEF!”
They first proved that something fishy was going on.
Sound Sultan sang about people sleeping at the American embassy in their bid to get visas, people selling all their property to make up the money to buy tickets. Basically, trying to escape this country by any means possible.
This song was released 17 years ago.
Nothing has changed
2. ‘Jaga Jaga’ by Eedris Abdulkareem
In 2004, during Olusegun Obasanjo’s tenure, Eedris Abdulkareem sang about how Nigeria was in a general state of disarray and how its people were suffering because of it.
Tell me. Is it any different now?
3. ‘Surulere’ by Lagbaja
In this song, Lagbaja sings about how we must have a little patience because democracy takes time to work. It’s been almost 20 years. Nigeria’s democracy looks like one big joke.
4. ‘Mr. President’ by African China
In this song from over 10 years ago, African China sang about how poor people are paraded and disgraced whenever they steal but when rich people do the same, no one hears anything.
How many politicians have been caught stealing money in recent times and how many have gone to jail for it?
5. ‘Beasts Of No Nation’ by Fela
In 1989, Fela released the song, Beasts Of No Nation. In it he sings about our leaders being animals in human skin. Basically pretending to be something they’re not.
Are our leaders today any different?
