Veteran Nigerian singer cum rapper, Seyi Sodimu, has claimed that his colleague, Wande Coal, is the most talented Nigerian Afrobeats artist.
Naijaonpoint reports that Sodimu made this known in a recent interview with comedian cum media personality, Teju Babyface.
According to Sodimu, Wande Coal played a pivotal role in the global success of Afrobeats by influencing artists such as Wizkid, Davido, and Sean Tizzle.
He said, “Wande Coal was one of the pivotal moments where he switched it [Afrobeats] to the new generation where he influenced people like Wizkid, Davido, Sean Tizzle. It was Wande Coal’s style that took Afrobeats to a new sound. I think he is the most-talented Nigerian Afrobeats artist.”
When asked if Wande Coal is getting the flowers he deserves, Sodimu replied, “What do you mean by flowers, are you talking about streams? Because people love Wande Coal when they hear his music. So it’s in context. Any artist you ask, if you meet any of them, even Burna Boy can attest to Wande Coal’s artistry.
“I’m older than Wande Coal and I know he’s actually operating on 30% and he is still kicking *ss. So, imagine if he was operating on 78%. Wande is a genius. He can sing, he also writes. He is amazing.”
