Rapper Zilla Oaks Tears into Wizkid in New Diss Track, ‘Rap Is Dead’

Nigeria rapper Zilla Oak has delivered a new track he calls ‘Rap Is Dead’ which is a response to Wizkid’s comments regarding Hip Hop and Nigerian rappers.

In an interview with 10 Magazine UK, Wizkid commented that Hip Hop is dead and he’s bored of the similarity in beat and delivery. The comment drew a reaction from fans and rappers who didn’t take kindly to it.

YCEE, M.I, A-Q, Blaqbonez, and Oladips were among the rappers who responded to the comments. While people argued that Wizkid wasn’t referring to Nigerian rappers, the megastar would later take to his Snapchat to call Nigerian rappers broke while also stating that Sarkodie, Nasty C, and Black Sherif were the Only rappers in Africa.

Zilla Oak steps up: Zilla Oaks tweeted on Wednesday, 7th December that it has been 72 hours after Wizkid dared Nigerian rappers to drop a diss track and nobody has stepped forward. He then proceeded to give a 6-hour ultimatum for someone to step up or he would.

Over 72 hours and no rapper has actually come out and addressed this whole @wizkidayo #RapIsDead matter with an actual rap/hip hop song. @MI_Abaga on the other hand came out to drop his personal list of NOISE MAKERS ….. imma give y’all till 8pm tonight. I want all the smoke! pic.twitter.com/U3L3GnGZKt
