Popular singer, Chukwuka EKweani, professionally known as Ckay, has sparked a debate online after he spoke on the influence of his senior colleagues, Runtown and Tekno in the Nigerian music industry.
He claimed that the duo’s music opened the door for musicians like him, Oxlade, and Rema to perform their brand of Afrobeats on a global scale.
According to Ckay, many people were aware of this but were hesitant to bring it up, which is why he thinks there will come a time when it will be necessary to do so.
The Love Nwantiti crooner took to his Twitter page today, June 16 to make the statement.
He tweeted; “One day we’re going to sit down and talk about how tekno and runtown’s music paved the way for songs like love nwantiti, emiliana, ku lo sa & calm down…”
