Veteran singer and rapper, Seyi Sodimu, has named Wande Coal as the most-talented Nigerian Afrobeats artist.
According to him, Wande Coal played a pivotal role in the global success of Afrobeats by influencing the likes of Wizkid and Davido.
“Wande Coal was one of the pivotal moments where he switched it [Afrobeats] to the new generation where he influenced people like Wizkid, Davido, Sean Tizzle. It was Wande Coal’s style that took Afrobeats to the new sound. I think he is the most-talented Nigerian Afrobeats artist,” Sodimu said in a recent interview with comedian, Teju Babyface.
Babyface asked, “Do you think Wande Coal is getting the flowers he deserves?”
Sodimu replied, “What do you mean by flowers, are you talking about streams? Because people love Wande Coal when they hear his music. So it’s in context. Any artist you ask, if you meet any of them, even Burna Boy can attest to Wande Coal’s artistry.
“I’m older than Wande Coal and I know he’s actually operating on 30% and he is still kicking *ss. So, imagine if he was operating on 78%. Wande is a genius. He can sing, he also writes. He is amazing.”
