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

Lyrics no dey sell for naija we just want party and Dey alright. Simple hook repeat am twice everybody singalong.

The singer was heavily bashed for this as the majority of music fans did not agree with his statement. A certain twitter then asked him now artistes like Simi, Adekunle Gold, Oritsefemi, Teni and Johnny Drille have been able to make it in the industry with superb lyrical content.
