People keep underrating Mr. Eazi because he didn’t rate Nigerian Jollof.

After Wizkid and Davido, he’s the next Nigerian making moves and getting his sound heard abroad.

First cochella, now on Beyoncé’s #LionKing album.

I wish africa will be spotted through this project and be given such opportunities all the time. Thnx @Beyonce for such a wonderful african call.— johnson white (@johnsonwhite1) July 16, 2019

You can’t take it away from him. The truth is, Shatta Wale is one of the few artistes in this country who came to change the industry. You can hate on his controversial nature but don’t hate on his hard work. Charles Nii Armah Mensah, CHAMPION!— Old Dog (@Otumfour_233) July 16, 2019
