An innocuous tweet by Ghana based Nigerian singer, Mr Eazi, has infuriated many of his compatriots who are always ready for a fight over which of the two West African country is greater.
With the debate over the country with the best jollof still raging, the Starboy Worldwide act drew the ire of his fellow countrymen when he wrote on Wednesday night that Ghana’s influence over present day Nigerian sound cannot be overemphasised.
Ghana’s influence on present day “Naija Sound” cannot be over emphasized!!!

No sooner had he sent the message than some Nigerians on Twitter went after him for handing the advantage to Ghana.
Ghana is calling Mr Eazi like ‘oh my home my home my home’
Mr Eazi is you a Ghanaian?

Mr Eazi obviously doesn’t know his country men, he has been dis-virgined now!

Mr Eazi is on his way back to Ghana in his Next Rated car.
He just reached Pram-Pram.— Andy Obuoforibo (@andyRoidO) January 12, 2017
My unapologetic opinion: Mr Eazi’s music is TRASH.???
— Lloyd. (@onolloyd) January 12, 2017
Mr Eazi’s genre of music is afrobeat and Afro beat started in Nigeria. Respect your ancestors?

Mr Eazi will have to do an apology song, without mentioning any Ghanian slang, recorded in Nigeria for Nigerians. Bombastical element! ???

Idris abdulkareem didn’t fight 50 cent for Mr eazi to be saying this nonsense
— Oluwakayode (@iTameLions) January 12, 2017
Some, however, agreed with him though.
Just seen the shit Mr Eazi said. And I don’t know if it’s true or not true. But I know one thing; Nigerians are not innovators.

I still love Mr Eazi’s music, as a man he is entitled to his opinion. ?It’s your boi Eazi?
— Davin ?? (@GottiLavida) January 12, 2017
Does Mr. Eazi’s tweets now make him overrated as a musician? Cos I dont get some of you.
— Bashọ̀run Gáà (@Oddy4real) January 12, 2017
But what mr eazi said is true,Most Nigerian artistes try to use Ghanian style nowadays
— kunle Onitiri ESQ (@hitmankunlecole) January 11, 2017
But most Nigerian songs used the Azonto & Aikada beat. So Eazi was a little bit right… Some Nigerian songs sound Ghanaian. Just some..
