Ko-Jo Cue is an excellent Hip-hop and Rap artiste from
Ghana, known for songs like WO NSA BE KA, EVERYBODY KNOWS, DZO, RICH DAD, POOR
DAD and an endless list of conscious songs.
He was one of two guests on our Big Conversation
segment on Culture Daily today.
On a Zoom call, Ko-Jo Cue expressed his thoughts on
Wizkid's recent posts about Rap music being dead.
Wizkid's posts on snapchat read "Y'all not even
rappers! Nasty C, Sarkodie, Black Sherif the only rappers in Africa..."

To quote Ko-Jo Cue, "You are Big Wiz, you have
all the money in the world, you have everything! You're the biggest Afrobeats
star in the world, Afrobeats is the biggest genre in the world. Why do you wake
up one morning and decide that hey, rap is dead. Why is that a concern to
you?"
Ko-Jo Cue mentioned Wizkid probably took to socials to
stir the waters because he wanted publicity for his new album and added "You
gain nothing from saying that unless you gain what is happening now. All of us
talking about it now."
When asked by MzGee about his take on the decline of Rap
globally, he answered by saying that Rap may be on a decline in Nigeria as he's
not sure of the state of Rap music there, but one cannot say that Rap is on the
decline in countries like South Africa, France, the United States, the United
Kingdom and even in Ghana.
Quoting Ko-Jo Cue, "I dare you to mention ten
Ghanaian artistes that are super huge right now. There'll be more rappers in there…"
Based on figures, Ko-Jo Cue again said, “If you look
at the billboard top hundred this whole year, you won't find ten Afrobeats
songs that were top ten and you're going to find more than ten Rap songs that
were top ten."
He said the fact that people say something does not
mean it is a fact. Whatever people say should be compared to the numbers.
