In a bold proclamation, Afrobeat artist Seyi Vibes has asserted Nigeria’s ownership of the Amapiano music genre, renaming it as “Awapiano” following Nigeria’s recent victory over South Africa in a football tournament.
Reacting to the growing influence of Amapiano music in Nigeria, Seyi Vibes emphasized the significant impact Nigerian artists have had on the genre, suggesting that it is now synonymous with Nigerian creativity and talent.
Nigerians now officially own Amapiano and the new name for the genre is now Awapiano,” Seyi Vibes declared.
This statement comes amidst the increasing popularity of Amapiano music among Nigerian audiences, with Nigerian artists incorporating elements of the genre into their music and gaining recognition both locally and internationally.
However, Seyi Vibes’ recent declaration isn’t his first brush with the spotlight. In December, he garnered attention when he was seen with a stunning woman, sparking speculation about their relationship. Netizens on Twitter weighed in on the matter, drawing attention to Seyi Vibes’ perceived physical appearance and suggesting that his financial status might influence his romantic prospects.
