Musician, Mr Eazi, has said he was a victim of cancel culture after his comments that Ghanaian music influenced Nigerian music. In 2017, Mr Eazi tweeted that Ghanaian music has a great influence over present-day Nigerian music, which earned him a lot of backlash, with many fans, colleagues, and music buffs threatening to cancel him. According to a report, he has reacted to the backlash in a recent episode of the Afrobeats Intelligence Podcast hosted by Joey Akan.
Mr. Eazi stated, “I see people coming on my [social media] profile and still throwing hate even tomorrow when it comes to the whole issue with me being canceled.” “Oh, yeah, you said that,” they said. Like, “Family, really?” This force goes to the local legislator who lives on your street. Do you sense me? I didn’t murder anyone. I said what I had to say. And many years ago, I said as much. You hate me for something else, if that’s the reason you dislike me. It goes beyond that. And knowing that just gives me a sense of freedom
I view everything through that prism. I was saying “Hello” to guys I was seeing, and I ended up saying “F*ck Mr. Eazi.” I was like, “Bro, you could have called me and told me, ‘Eazi, you shouldn’t have said that. I just saw this interview.” I suggest that you take this action. However, it simply turned into a case of, Let’s form a group. For this reason, I sang “Twitter fingers steady showing fake love” in my song “We Dey,” mostly due to the crowd mentality. Hating you is in right now, and it’s all for clicks.
