Kenny Blaq: I Didn’t Start Music Comedy but Added a Unique Vibe
In a recent interview with Hip TV, popular comedian Kenny Blaq clarified a common misconception about his role in the development of music comedy in Nigeria.
Contrary to some beliefs, he did not originate the genre. Instead, Blaq acknowledged the contributions of pioneers such as the late Gbenga Adeboye, CD John, and others, who laid the groundwork for music comedy in Nigeria.
However, Blaq believes his approach to the genre introduced a new dimension. He described how he infused “the Wizkid and Davido vibe” into his music comedy, distinguishing his work from that of his predecessors.
According to Blaq, while earlier music comedians focused primarily on specific styles and regional languages like Igbo or Yoruba, his work was characterized by a diverse mix of genres. He employed mashups, covers, and storytelling, maintaining a high level of consistency and creativity.
Blaq emphasized that while he did not invent music comedy, his innovative approach has significantly contributed to its evolution and popularity in Nigeria.
Two Nigerian music stars, Rema and Asake, have earned a place in former U.S. President Barack Obama’s annual list of favorite songs for 2024.
On Saturday, Obama shared his handpicked selection of tracks from the year, and both artists’ songs were included.
Rema’s hit single Yayo and Asake’s collaboration with Travis Scott on Active made the prestigious list..
The list also saw the inclusion of another African artist, South Africa’s Tyla, who was featured for her song Jump, a track featuring Gunna and Skillibeng.
In addition to the African stars, Nigerian-American singers Shaboozey and Jordan Adetunji also appeared on Obama’s playlist.
Shaboozey’s A Bar Song and Adetunji’s Kehlani were celebrated for their unique sound, adding diversity to the mix.
As expected, the list also featured big names from the global music scene, with legendary artists like Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé, and Karol G all making an appearance.
These mainstream stars continue to dominate the music industry, but Obama’s inclusion of emerging artists such as Rema and Asake shows his appreciation for a variety of musical genres.
On sharing his list with his followers via X (formerly Twitter), Obama encouraged fans to explore the tracks, saying, “Here are my favorite songs from this year!
Check them out if you’re looking to shake up your playlist, and let me know if there’s a song or artist I should make sure to listen to.”
