Ianya shared his thoughts on Nigerian artists being disrespected and not recognizing their hard work over time.
Singer Ianya, in a recent post on his social media platform, spoke about how the journey and struggles of some Nigerian artists, like himself, have been ridiculed and disrespected by people who do not understand how and why these artists find themselves in such situations. .
The singer shared a lengthy post on social media where he expressed his opinion. Text of the post on social media:
2008 I won the highly competitive MTN Fame project. Una say I ain’t going away I say contest winners La dai well Record and release one of the biggest Afrobeat songs of all time “Kukere” una talk Say luck, I give una “ur waist” una say e I sounded like Kukere, I gave you mama arousing.
Flavor, away, applause, jombolo, gift, okamfo, Iyanu, Mr Oreo, kukere remix, Koma roll remix, Regea Blues remix, upto something, Le kwa ukwu. I recently brought you the “Like” Ft Davido x Kizz Danie, “One Side” x Oneside remix, “sinner” which is currently charting at #11 on the Apple Top 100. Today I dropped my second EP in 14 months.
The truth is, you don’t respect people’s journey and expect others to respect it. Yes after sometime I was out, now I’m back, the foundation has been laid for a new Ianya and the house is currently being built and I promise you, we’ll be covering part of it soon. (music) I love you all, stay blessed
The singer shared his thoughts after negative reactions from social media users after contributing to the statement Davido made about who led the global Afrobeats trend.
