Nigerian rapper and singer Skales has responded to Afrobeats star Wizkid’s controversial statement that “hip-hop is dead.”
In an interview with Hip TV, Skales said: “Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Wizkid has his, and that’s his view on hip-hop. But in my perspective, everything in life has its time and season.
“Trends come and go, and things recycle. If you’re popular today, you might not be tomorrow. Right now, people are into Afrobeats, but next, it could be Amapiano, and so on.

“I wouldn’t say hip-hop is dead. It’s just not its moment right now. The excitement has shifted. Eventually, people might even say Afrobeats is dead. It’s all about timing. Nothing lasts forever, which is why we all die one day.”
