Ex-controversial Big Brother Naija housemate, Gifty – who’s said to be pregnant for a yet to be identified person man, took a swipe at Nigerian Musicians (including Mr Eazi, Runtown and more) for infusing their songs with the ‘Ghana tune‘.
This she claims is an indication that they are not proud of our dialects – she then lauds other musicians like, Flavour, Phyno, Olamide and Adekunle Gold for using local dialects in their music.
Gifty shared:
Here u go again using ur mouth 2 destroy ur language. A DIALECT is a language spoken n understood by only a spécific group of people. If that dialect jumps its geographical location it becomes A LANGUAGE. When u réf 2a LANGUAGE as A DIALECT, u hv relégated, and down graded that LANGUAGE 2nd class. MOST AFRICAIN LANGUAGES HAV *JUMPED* THEIR GÉOGRAPHICAL AREAS OF ORIGIN.
