In a digital age dominated by streaming numbers and musical collaborations, Nigerian businessman Michael Kizito Okenwa has stirred the pot with bold claims about the revival of Kcee’s music career. According to Okenwa, it’s not the industry giants but the relatively lesser-known Ojazzy who has breathed new life into Kcee’s once “dead” career.
Okenwa, a vocal commentator, took to social media to present what he deems as irrefutable evidence. He compares Kcee’s Spotify streaming figures for the hit track “Pullover,” featuring Wizkid, with those for “Ojapiano,” a collaboration with Ojazzy and Igwe Credo. The numbers, according to Okenwa, tell a compelling story of resurgence.
“The highest stream Kcee got since his music career was in ‘Pullover,'” Okenwa asserts. “But ‘Ojapiano’ with Ojazzy and Igwe Credo registered 14,144,950 million streams as of this morning and still counting. This is over double of what he got after featuring one of the biggest superstars of Nigerian music, Wizkid.”
The businessman raises a thought-provoking question: Who should be grateful to whom between Kcee and Ojazzy/Credo? He argues that Ojazzy’s influence and collaboration have surpassed the impact of Kcee’s high-profile partnership with Wizkid.
Okenwa doesn’t stop at the realm of music; he delves into societal dynamics, expressing concern about a tendency to blame the victim. He states, “We live in a world where a poor man is eternally confined to be wrong just because he’s poor despite the glaring evidence that he’s the victim.”
The post prompts reflection on the intricacies of the music industry, the dynamics of collaboration, and the unpredictable nature of success in an era driven by streaming metrics. Ojazzy’s role as a catalyst for Kcee’s alleged career resurgence challenges conventional narratives, emphasizing the impact of lesser-known talents in shaping the industry landscape.
As debates unfold in the wake of Okenwa’s bold claims, the music world watches with interest, contemplating the nuanced interplay between established stars and emerging talents. Only time will reveal whether Ojazzy’s influence truly marks a turning point in Kcee’s career or if it’s merely a transient surge in the ever-evolving currents of the Nigerian music scene.
