Nigerian singer and ace producer, Samklef, still insists that only rappers have good lyrical content in the industry.

Samklef made a controversial statement on his Twitter page that created quite a buzz on social media.

The singer explained that lyrics no longer sell in the music industry and that only rappers have lyrical content.

No dey sell for naija, we just want to party and dey alright. Simple hook, repeat twice, everybody singalong.

The singer was severely bashed for this as the majority of music fans did not agree with his statement. A certain twitter then asked him now whether artistes like Simi, Adekunle Gold, Oritsefemi, Teni, and Johnny Drille have been able to make it in the industry with superb lyrical content. If lyrics don't sell, so how come sim, Adekunle , Oritsefemi, Teni,jonnydrille , and Kiss Blow?

He, however, responded by still insisting that only rappers have lyrical content. He explained that the content that Simi and the other mentioned artistes showcase can not be regarded as lyrics. He wrote: "Those are not lyrics." Na rapper get lyrics
