Here is a problem coming up next year, this is what y'all are concerned about
I watched this video three different times. Not once, not twice, but three times. And in that same video, this thing intentionally referred to Yoruba people as “ONYE OFE NMANU” five different times. That is not slang. That is not banter. That is a slur. A deliberate insult meant to demean Yoruba people as “people of oily soup.”
So I went on X, expecting at least one voice from her own side to call her out. Just one. But no. Absolute silence. The same people who rush into comment sections screaming “bigotry” whenever Yorubas respond brutally suddenly lost their keyboards. That silence tells you everything you need to know.
You can see the bitterness clearly. The resentment is loud. And the hatred is not even disguised.
Now let us address the fake victim narrative. I do not have a problem with any artist facing genuine segregation. But let us ask a simple, honest question. Did Yoruba people go to radio stations, TV houses, and clubs in ANAMBRA, ABIA, IMO, EBONYI, and ENUGU to stop playing Ibo artists' music?. This SHIT is in Lagos (Yoruba land) listening to radio stations in Lagos (Yoruba land) not playing Ibo artists songs in Lagos (Yoruba land). what an audacity and self-entitlement.
She mentioned six Ibo, I only know Flavour and Phyno. The rest are nobody and there is nothing wrong with that. Music grows locally before it goes national. That is how it works everywhere.
You cannot grow onions in the South. They grow in the North. But once they grow there, they serve the whole country. That does not make it oppression. That is geography and market reality.
Asake sings mainly in Yoruba. Imagine him crying of segregation because his songs are not dominant in Ibo land. How many people there even understand Yoruba in the first place.
Let us stop pretending. This is not about music. This is about long bottled resentment, selective outrage, and a deep refusal to accept that culture, language, and audience matter.
Again, Yoruba will not let this slide.
