Singer CKay recently took a jab at some of his peers in the Afrobeats scene, claiming they once mocked him for his unique sound but are now emulating his style.

The artist behind the viral hit “Love Nwantiti” asserted that he has been a pioneer of many trends that current Afrobeats artists are now capitalizing on.

Reflecting on his journey, CKay recalled how he was ridiculed when he began promoting Afrobeats on TikTok.

At the time, his innovative approach was met with scepticism, but now many of those who laughed at him have adopted similar strategies, albeit under different names.

On his X (formerly Twitter) account, CKay wrote, “History can’t be rewritten just because some people got paid to rewrite it… I’ll always be here to remind you.”

He confidently declared, “CKay is the first. I pioneered many vibes Afrobeats artists thrive off today… if you know, you know.

You all laughed when I introduced emo-afrobeat and spent hours on TikTok, but now many are doing the same thing, calling it ridiculous names and making money. You’re welcome, though.”

CKay’s remarks highlight the challenges of innovation in the music industry, where originality can often be met with resistance before it gains acceptance.

His experience serves as a reminder that staying true to one’s artistic vision can eventually lead to broader recognition and influence.
