I wish I didn't have to do this video but something must be said... is Amapiano under attack by Nigerians or is South Africa being overprotective of its crown jewel? This is where I take things today

NO MATTER WHAT I LOVE KWAITO AND AMAPIANO BIG UP SOUTH AFRICA. LOVE FROM DR CONGO 🇨🇩 AFRICA 🌍 WE ARE ONE 🇿🇦 PEACE AND LOVE
We are indeed one!
As a Nigerian, Let me clarify, We do NOT make amapiano. We didnt create amapiano, we do NOT have a right or even seat at the table of Amapiano. What we do is we took log drums of the amapiano element, and infused it with our own style. Nigerian market is different from south Africa. Our market is heavy on drums & melodies. South Africa market dont care about melody. We have something in Nigeria called "talking drums", that is why log drums from amapiano resonate a lot with us. Listen to South Africa Amapiano & Nigeria style of "amapiano. It is NOT thesame. Hence, Nigerians do NOT do amapiano. People just mistake things. Ours is infusion of amapiano element based on our own market demands. Asake is someone that blends this a lot but he doesnt do amapiano. He infuses (Fuji, Nigerian celestial gospel, fela afrobeats/highlife AND elements of amapiano). In essence, Nigerians can NEVER claim amapiano.
I agree fully
@Allah_Loves_Forgives_and_Saves then Seyi vibez does Afro-allah. Let's go down that route. Nothing like Nigerian amapiano. You & me sabi say nothing like that exists.
@Allah_Loves_Forgives_and_Saves. Yo Bro Stop ✋ it there is Nothing like Nigerian Amapiano… and i am from Nigeria.
You couldn’t have said it better what we do is Afropiano I.e and infusion of afrobeats and amampiano
Weldone bruv.
You nailed this
There is no fight for Amapiano...the genre belongs to SA period!
100%
But Nigerians never claimed ownership of Amapiano, this talk is unnecessary. Fussing some elements of Amapiano into the usual Nigerian music doesn't mean claiming it. Don't open post that create confusion. The worry for SA is the far reach of the Nigerian music which can't be matched, hence the fear that Nigerian music fussion will actually sideline traditional original Amapiano coming from SA. I think there is a work around with this and both sides can find ways to coexist, use the strength and reach of each others industry. So SA should rest assured, Nigeria never claimed ownership of their music.
@@agass2576Americans don't complain when the whole world do rap music.
Tyla's "Water" is more Afrobeat than Amapiano. Nigerians vibe to it happily. Y'all should stop this nonsense.
@@jerrywonder1831the owner of the song wouldnt agree ...the song is amapiano mixed with RnB
I'm a Nigerian 🇳🇬 and I love Amapiano even though I admire the Naija fusion of Amapiano. South Africa 🇿🇦 owns Amapiano. 1 ❤️
100%
Look at this fool 😭 1:Nobody is disputing the origin of Amapiano 2:Nigerian artists never claimed they own Amapiano, I have seen them give interviews on international platforms and gave credit to south Africans 3:Nigerian afrobeats is not just about Amapiano 4:Last and not the least u are not a Nigerian
Drc sokussa and east Africa rumba belongs to them amapiono is for south Africa it's high time Nigerians learn to respect others going abroad is not a excuse south Africans don't be fooled by anyone you're already there
@@LevisonChidziwe-mc4xt Whats this foolish 😒 talking about?
@@LevisonChidziwe-mc4xt, are you okay? Who says Nigerians don't respect the owners of the genre? The problem with South Africans is that they are jealous about the way Nigeria is fusing it with Afrobeats to make hit songs. Why should that be? There are a lot of countries doing Afrobeats and Nigerians aren't even asking them to give credit to Nigeria. South Africa does hiphop and R&B. How often do they give credit to America? May sense locate you.
As Nigerians, yes, we appreciate Amarphiano - but we do not own it - we will never own it. Ok?!
I agree fully!
Tell it!
Please use the correct spelling - AMAPIANO
@@lungik8883 Forgive them, ma.
We never claim we own it. This is false accusations propagated online
I'm From DRC🇨🇩 and I love both Afrobeat 🇳🇬 & Amapiano🇿🇦.. it's a vibe✌️🔥🔥 we're Africans we should stop all this Fights of which country is better than the other 😭
I agree fully!!!
Music genres and dance styles in South Africa have always been created in Black townships for local consumption - if the World is crazy about them - its Not our fault. In the Next five yrs there might be No more Amapionos - Are you Nigerian going to be jealous about the New muzic genre that SA will have by then ?
I love the organic nature of the music created in South African townships. New styles are constantly being created, this also happened with Gqom and the world wanted it
SA has got a plethora of genre's shem
In kenya we are huge consumer of both amapiano and afrobeats..but afrobeat is much more popular than amapiano
Thanks for the insight! This is shown in the year end Spotify most listened to data for Kenya - a distinct love for Afrobeats!
South African Amapiano has taken the world stage. It has reached America and UK with a storm even though SA musicians are not known. It dominates Tik Tok videos and just early this year when I visited New York, I was surprise to hear it playing everywhere. It has almost wiped out Afrobeat. Some American artists are even now visiting SA to learn more about Amapiano.
😂 how many countries have you been to…….
@@SubscriptionAutoDone-ss5ie Botswana, DRC, Italy, England, US, Mauritius.
@@SubscriptionAutoDone-ss5ie Thanks to my father for travelling with us. When he was working he took us to Botswana, DRC(Lubumbashi) and Mauritius. When he retired and took his pension, his employer offered him tickets for overseas trips to Europe with his family. He chose to travel to Italy and Britain. That was in 2013 when my father was still alive.
To the US, we went there as a church. Our church organised a trip with this other agency. We paid for a trip to visit Israel but plans were cancelled because of what is going on in that country. Many churches have been going there every year and pay around R40k-R50k for everything. Instead, we changed and consider a trip to the US after paying R10k more.
It is being played everywhere
@@sellopuo1304 how many states have you been to in the US? 😆
Anyone who thinks Nigeria is gonna overtake S.A is delusional, is like saying another country is gonna overtake USA with hip hop
This I agree with!
Pls be specific… do u mean Amapiano or Music in general? If u mean Amapiano then u r right becus SA created it n Nigeria can not do it like d originator but if u r saying Music in general, u must be delusional. No one in Africa…I boldly repeat.. No one not even all ur SA artists combined with other African artists can’t touch d achievements of Nigeria music industry. Nigeria is competing with d world not Africa.
@@2LETLIVE I see your point here but I disagree that Amapiano is nothing without Nigerians. Amapiano is nothing without South Africans - it doesn't exist without South Africans. What I can agree with is that, currently, Nigerians are more primed to take the sound farther than South Africans are and in many ways they have done so already. It is also quite arguable that Nigerians aren't making "Amapiano" for the most part anyway since slapping a log drum on every sound doesn't automatically make it Amapiano
@@MJWemotoI disagree if he’s talking abt Music in general… SA music industry can never compete with Nigeria music industry on any level n I’m glad u mentioned it urself on dis episode. Musically, Nigeria has taking over Africa n we r competing with world right now
@@jerryotomewo6284 I get that but I thought the conversation is about Amapiano. No one can make Amapiano like South Africans but anyway I digress. Nigeria is far ahead of all Sub-Saharan African countries when it comes to the visible business side of music. The moves Nigeria has made internationally especially in the last 8-12 years have been wonderful to see. This is what I addressed in my latest video
South African amapion is the one🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯
100%
South Africa has amapiano and kept it to theirself Nigeria hear it and Nigerian take it to the world
Nope you smoke nyoape, Tik tok took amapiano global not Nigerians 😂😂😂😂
That is false. South African music has always been globally relevant, they have won far more grammys than Nigeria. South African house, Kwaito, Gqom, Amapiano etc. was on fire all over Southern Africa and parts of Eastern Africa for ages, and was going viral globally because of social media like Tik Tok. Then Nigerians just decided to jump on the wave when it was trending. No one has a problem with Nigerians taking inspiration. The issue is that nonsense of saying that Nigerians took it global or made it relevant. Or how Nigerian artists are calling their fusion music Amapiano, when it is not. That's called appropriation not appreciation. You guys cant give anyone credit without making it about Nigeria. And i am not even South African and love both genres.
Funny thing mostly some countries like to compete with South Africa 🇿🇦 but I don't remember even in a single day South Africa comparing its self to other countries. Competing is not our thing though we know we are nailing we don't blow a horn why because we are capable of minding our own business. These people like to compete with us, guys you are far behind I think it can take a century for you to get where we are, even our country system is telling the super fact,so please stop comparing yourself to South Africa 🇿🇦 because we are not interested
Interesting 🤔🤔🤔
If you actually know what's going on all over social Media, you'll realize that there is hardly any comparison to South Africa. It is mostly Nigeria that others compare to. And by the way, yes you guys are far ahead with being slaves to foreigners in your own country. Thank God I'll never buy lands or landed property from foreigners or white men in my own country.
Only Nigerians, other countries don't do it... maybe youtubers compare
Nigeria likes to compete with SA. Amapiano, BRICS, Biggest economy (per capita), G20 etc. Meanwhile South Africans are grinding forth doing their thing
I'm glad you mentioned areas where data is available because the data tells a different story to what people simply think!
Nigeria like to compete how… we doing our thing dude, check history Nigeria was lending a helping hand to S/A not once not twice, so we ain’t competing, we have our own grind, we are hustlers.
@@ademoll Was Tinubu trying to hustle a qualification o? 😂👨🎓😂
Is BRICS and G20 a South African thing?
Where have you seen a video or prove that Nigerians are competing with Amapiano our Afrobeat is already bigger than your Amapiano?
And lastly how are we competing with your GDP per Capita?
Get a job bro!
Last i checked you guys were the ones complaining and competing with us.
You guys discuss Nigeria to stay relevant😂
@@Sbuda.81get your lands back maybe you can talk About Nigeria, Africa that's run by whites. Y'all are strangers in your own lands, can't even own a business or run your companies rather you are busy campaigning against foreigners in your country.
Lazy people with huge excuses
I am Nigerian and I agree 100000%. Its one of the things that actually upset me seeing the Nigerians walk all over amapiano, a genre I loved from the start with tracks like kokota, shesha, Iskathi, bambala and the rest. I love the pure layered 7 minutes Amapiano tracks. Big up SA
You mentioned some of the golden age Amapiano tracks wow
Stop trying to patronize the South Africans 🤣 Adekunle Gold and Davido are definitely doing fantastic with the sound and don't think you're definitely a Nigerian
@@MJWemotoyes because I've been in it for a minute. I'm a DJ and thinking of doing a mix with the early days piano.
@@samtislorh8529I hear you if you think I'm not Nigerian.
@@yanjuepemolu3484 my fam, DO THAT MIX!!!
Most Africans can't compete and don't like competition and this is an area that Naija is good at . Amapiano originate from south Africa but nothing stopping other Africans from being artist of amapiano. Trying to prevent others from being Amapiano artist especially Nigerians is bound to failed. Most African countries hates competing with Nigerians in all field of endeavours.
True
No problem, but tell the truth
@@annamojapelo2292 what truth are you talking about? Just said Amapiano is South African creation!! The problem with people like you is the fear of Nigerians out doing you period 🤣🤣🤣🤣
why are we forced to compete with our own things instead of all of us competing in rebuilding and developing our own countries so that we can all stop fighting for staying in SA and forcing SAcn to compete with all 53 African countries that gained independency decades before SA and even enjoyed it without the invasion of others?
What an unfair competition from desperate parasitic opportunistic hypocritical failed nations.
@@thabangtladi8057 point of correction, SA is SA because the whites developed it and if it was left to you blacks as all of us blacks worldwide your leaders would have stolen the money and buy mansions in Europe and America 🇺🇸 so thank your white masters in pre colonial Apartheid SA and stop bragging to the rest of Africa as if you would have done better 😂😂😂😂
Infact as of today the economy of SA is still in the hands of the minority whites while the rest of your black South Africans are still waiting for government handouts which is never coming. We Nigerians don’t depend upon government and that’s why we’re competitive worldwide
What Nigeria does is not Amapiano. Its a fusion of elements of Amapiano. It's basically Afrofusion.
I agree!
U kept saying u agree💯 but u're the one that posted the misconstrue video 📹 how comes u didn't make a research or u just finished drinking Umqombothi and come inside tube to puke posted garbage
We even do it better than them and that's their greatest fear
@@samtislorh8529 Do better than who? cause youre not doing amapiano fool
@@samtislorh8529 Not true. What Nigerians are making is totally different vibe and concept. No one can even come close them. Amapiano is a whole culture not just a music genre.
I'd advise South African artists to just keep doing their best with the genre we live and release those bangs. Originality will speak for itself in the world out there. Let those who want to start comparing you to the rest to keep making those sounds
Couldn't have said it better
Do you consider Tyla's Water Amapiano or Afrobeats? It sounds very Afrobeats to me
Thanks for your comment and question! Water is a very genre fluid song. It's a fusion of Afrobeats, Amapiano, R&B and Pop
@@MJWemotoplease explain Afrobeat elements on the song all I m hearing is RMB and Amapiano log drum and she perfoms Barcadi dance moves, can you pin point what is Afrobeat elements in song will be waiting
@@afrikawewant5390it has afrobeat features. Listen when she said make me sweat you will understand, no RnB sing that way. She’s following the afrobeat trend on mainstreams like kulosa, ayra star rush. And many more.
@@dimegi1558Explain the afrobeats in the song ....the song is amapiano pop and RnB
@@dimegi1558Tyla said it herself the song is amapiano
If you don't know Kwaito, then you don't know Amapiano.
I absolutely LOVE this comment. Real real stuff
The whole Africa will then go to court that jazz music which is quintessential Africa is perfected by Americans. Don’t we have other things to do ?
Fix your crumbling countries and stop ganging up against poor black South Africans fighting them for their own things in their own country be music, jobs, business, women etc and stop forcing your stay in SA and go rebuild and develop your own rich oil & gas producing countries
As a Nigerian, i would say your caption is very wrong, because we are never in fight with South Africa over amapiano. Everyone knows amapiano originated from South Africa 🇿🇦 and Nigerians respects that. Nigerians contributed to making amapiano global. We are cool with the Nigeria's Afrobeat. Nigerians can never claim amapiano, we just infused amapiano blending it into our Afrobeat. They are two different things altogether. Our style of amapiano is even different from South Africans who are the real originator.
The goal of the caption is to make you curious and click, can I say in this case it worked? Thanks for your comment!
@@MJWemoto you are part of the reason why there is escalation of hate between Nigeria and SA then.
@@amos_eternal i disagree, the video clearly breaks down why there's no need for any fighting on the issue. I unfortunately will not be your soft target today. Thank you
Contributed to making amapiano. You people are big mad.
South africa owns afrobeats now. See tyla just crowned the empress of the genre. You people Said you own amapiano and we are taking afrobeats accolades. Did you see tyla dwarfing the so called giant. Come talk your talk now. Mumus.
Interesting take on a music genre. I wonder how South Africans felt when the great late Lucky Dube was making Reggae music, a music genre created and popularized by Jamaica. Did the Jamaicans feel cheated when UB 40, a reggae group made up of White singers won a Grammy for their reggae album. Nigeria created Afrobeats, but many artists across Africa and beyond are making Afrobeats songs. Should Nigeria throw a fist? South African artists such Nasty C, the Late AKA and Casper are into rap and hip hop music which was created by black Americans. Going by your logic, should they stop or should they label their version of rap as South African hip hop fusion? How come you did not acknowledge the fact that by fusing Amapiano into Afrobeats, Nigerian artists are actually helping to popularize the genre and help to further the global reach of the music which in the long run will benefit the South African artists. Once you put your creativity in the public domain, you cannot stop people from being inspired by it and even replicating and copying it.
I agree with you, thanks for the insight. This video addresses only one aspect of this thing, I have other videos that cover some of the points you raised. I don't think 10 minutes is enough to cover this topic comprehensively regardless, however, it gets a conversation going
@@MJWemotoyou could have mentioned this briefly in this video because it could escalate into something bad.
Let peace rule
Now I get you
Great comments
Lucky Dube didnt claim Reggae ❤ 😊
Everybody knows Reggae originated in Jamaica and Rap originated in USA, the problem with Nigrrians is that they are claiming Amapiano as their own sound, that's why Swae Lee credited Nigeria with Amapiano and even put a Nigerian flag, I doubt Swae Lee would credit Raggae and Rap to any other country than Jamaica and USA, that is what South Africans are having problems with, we know music sounds can be appropriated universally but give props to the originators of the sound, don't try to claim it and even not correct US artists as Swae Lee when they make mistakes, Swae Lee was working with Nigerian artists in some songs, I bet they omitted letting him know Amapiano is a South African sound in order to claim credit for it and ensure their features bcs he might go to the original creators if they tell him the honest truth.
Amapiano belongs to SA 100%! Every Nigerian knows this and gives SA the credits when necessary. But then, things go out of control sometimes. Videos like this is very necessary for education. Well done. At the end, it's a win for Africa. Departments of Art and Culture really need to step in
A win for Africa, 100%
@Allah_Loves_Forgives_and_Saves As a Nigerian I can tell you for free there is nothing called Nigerian Ampiano.
@Allah_Loves_Forgives_and_Savesthere's nothing like that.
@Allah_Loves_Forgives_and_Saveswhere do you get your news from bro? Seems like you live I Jupiter 😅
Guys no needs for Confusion. SA owns Amapiano. Nigerians elevate the genre simple as that
Perfect explanation!!!
You can't claiming to be elevating a genre when you're not even doing it
Elevate how. Whom are your 5 top touring Naija Amapiano Dj Producers??
THERE'S NOTHING LIKE NIGERIAN AMAPIANO.
Sorry we don't recognize it in Nigeria.
We are only vibing to Amapiano and we'll soon jump to another.
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Nigerians no dey carry last
@@elyzartaylor5362what do you carry when Nigeria doesn't even have toilets 😂😂😂😂
This!!!! This Olodo people are just stuck in their little caves 😂 let the next wave come out and watch us jump on it! Then we’d see how far their Amapiano would go! 😂
@@jacstvofficial4490 Jump on the wave of ur country and make it better, I mean Nigeria is the literally the capital of open defecation 👉🏾💩🚽😂😂😂😂😂
South Africa Better learn from Ghana that told Nigeria to leave thier Azonto alone for them. So Nigerians didn't have any choice but to stop messing with it by leaving it for them, but it died in thier hands. Think (God is using Nigeria to push anything Africa far and beyond)!! Plug into that movement or else you might be disconnected. Nobody is going to take your Amapiano away from you South Africa.
Ghana is different from SA...SA dont depend on Nigeria
It's not appropriation. South Africa and Ghana so salty.. African artists rode the ragae genre for decades. Not one person screamed south african appropriations.. Just flow and make music
😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's funny how it became an issue when Nigerians started vibing on amapiano. It's a genre and nothing wrong in using it. Nigerians never stopped anyone from using afrobeat. It's really a waste of time seeing issues emanating from this. The truth be told, anything Nigeria touch, turns to gold.
Interesting take!
Touch ur country and let's see if you will turn it into gold 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Don’t mind them bunch of lazy bones
It didn't become an issue when Nigeria started vibing to it. It became an issue when people started saying, implying, suggesting or assuming Amapiano is from Nigeria. Sway Lee, an American artist who also collaborated with WizKid put Nigerian flags when tweeting about the South African made genre and how he wanted to hop on it too. There might have been someone else from Nigeria who I saw on Instagram claiming she started Amapiano, which is totally asinine. Thing is, just as Afrobeats is normally identified as a Nigerian genre even though Ghana does it too and might have originated it from what I see in some conversations, it must also be known where the genre of Amapiano originated, SOUTH AFRICA. This is an issue is origin, not an issue against Nigerian folk vibing to it. They can vibe all they want as long as their artists don't claim it's origin and lie to the world.
@@mpeshyonkinto Sway Lee’s collaboration with Wizkid made him fly the Naija flag and nothing more. If the collaboration was with a South African I believe he would have done same for them so stop all this Naija hate cos we Nigerians are more than capable of defending our own
I won’t completely agree with the population comparison, we have multi dimensionally poor people who can’t even afford to stream videos or are more concerned about work that they don’t watch music videos online. There was a time even Tanzanian artists even till now usually have far more viewership than Nigerian artists some of our songs are even viewed outside Nigeria than in Nigeria
Thanks for your comment! On the Tanzania front, what you see isn't always real - ask yourself this, with all those streams why do TZ artists struggle to get gigs overseas or to do big venues? The answer - streaming farms (fake views). It's a huge problem in that market.
On the other hand, every African country has poverty dynamics which will impact who has access to internet etc, not just Nigeria
The fact that this is now a fight means its a good thing its growing, now let get Chris Brown and Darkes coping this music then we know Africa has hit global...Nobody will take that music from South Africans they just do it differently ❤
100% agreed
There's no such thing is Nigerian amapiano
Perhaps
I am Namibian and love my South African brothers to bits, but you can tell that this video was made by a South African, nothing wron with that, but it's like watching a footbal match between South Africa and Nigeria but the referee is South African too.
How confident are you that I'm South African? 😀
He's not South African, that's not our accent
His Zimbabwean I can hear the accent
Tyla is going crazy right now
Big time!
Amapiano is South african.
Nigeria has never claim Amapiano, Nigeria call it's genre Afropiano.
Sadly there has been alot of misinformation, Ignorance, and envy propagated online due to the glogas rise and success of afrobeats.
South africans should stop fighting Nigerians over the use of Amapiano because Nigerians are now running with the sound. If South Africa could run with Afrobeats, long time ago they could have but obviously they don't have the crack for it. Makifizolo did afrobeat some years ago and no Nigerian complained, Aka did Fela in versace which is also afrobeat and nobody complained, K.O ft Yung stunner in one other song which is also afrobeat and nobody complain and these tunes were all very huge tunes in their peak and season of release. South Africans should stop crying, we tired of seeing them drop tears
🙆🏿♂️🙆🏿♂️🙆🏿♂️🙆🏿♂️🙆🏿♂️
we wont stop fighting you as long as your stinking annoying animals are still here in SA
South africans owns Amapiano...Nigetians are not running with it lets stop lies
Mafikizolo does Afropop long before Afrobeat became popular. I guess maybe Afropop has a link to Afrobeat. SA has been jamming to Afropop from way back. Similar to KOs Sete I don't think KO was in his mind making Afrobeat but because it sounds like Afrobeat many of ya'll adopted it as a Afrobeat
@@mosalethoba5267 are you really serious with what you saying now? How did Makifixolo start making Afropop before Afro beat. What birth the term afropop in the first place? You really don’t understand English language but let me educate you. What does pop mean to you? Pop actually means contemporary popular music of a particular and afropop is only derived from the popularity of afrobeat music when afrobeat started to gain a wild reach of audiences. That’s what pop means my friend. So I don’t know how you came up with the logic of Makifizolo making afropop music before the popularity of afrobeat. when in all sense, there would be nothing like afropop without the existence of afrobeat. Go and learn more
Definitely Amapiano from SA🔥. I just want SA to rise too in music like Nigeria that’s all
The music is brilliant, need more moves on the business end outside of SA and your dream will happen for sure
That what they playing is not amapiano its afrobeat with a phat bass drop but far from piano,see nobody can make amapiano or dance like south africans simply because a piano song must be about a vibe and same apply to dance moves,its not the “i got a song type of production” of i now know this piano dance moves……its about street vibe and personality nobody will understand….LET THEM MAKE THE SO CALLED AMAPIANO THEY BEEN AT IT FOR THREE YEARS NOW AND THE FACT THAT THEY NOT CLOSE TO LOCAL PRODUCTION IS PROOF OF WHAT I AM STATING
The only people that could ever understand either grew up with the culture and are part of it as South Africans or were deeply immersed within its origins from the beginning. Most people online have no clue about how Amapiano captures so many time periods in South African township culture and history, both musically and otherwise... or how some of the chants trace back to popular sayings or even shows like Jam Alley etc. All that is ignored when people try to claim what they have no idea about
Nigerians are not claiming amapiano, we never did, we have no interest in claiming it. We just infuse it. South africans do hip hop right, right? Nuff said.
Have you been on Twitter in the last 2 years? 😂😂😂 Plenty of 'claims' there
@@MJWemoto any Nigerians who do that is stupid. From Nigeria 🇳🇬
We all know. The fight is for the originators to make the most money and create generational wealth. Then whomever else can collaborate and recreate.
It's important for the originators to enjoy the benefits of their innovation. It also puts them in a position to further innovate rather than pivot to other careers to survive as what happens with many in the industry
@MJWemoto Indeed. Exactly! It's the story of black music since the inception of the record industry. Jazz pioneers lived lives of relative poverty while others lived lavish off their intellectual efforts and innovations.
This is a very important discussion actually. We have to recognize that the impacts are not only restricted to "recognition for work" but livelihood!
@MJWemoto Absolutely. That's why cultural appropriation is not just about imitation. It's literally taking away one's potential for renumerations. Just like when Nike shuts down counterfeit rings and sights. Because they affect their bottom line. So actually it is key for the artists to fight for founder status and recognition and all rewards due to that.
Dj Lag is currently resuscitating interest in Gqom globally, lets see what Naija gqom originators will say 😂😂😂
I actually think Gqom has been quietly churning out some of the best music over the last couple of years without the spotlight. DJ Lag as you've mentioned, QUE DJ dropped a schlappa last December too. It's finding its feet again
Ok am bout to spill the reallest shit here am Nigerian and am gonna say Nigeria artiste ain't trying to claim up Amapiano like sweali Said he got to here the sound from Nigeria that was why he though it originated from Nigeria one thing I'll say as a Nigerian we don't see what will catch a whole ton of money and turn a blind eye to it we will surely milk it out dry till we find something else to feed on and from the sound too Nigeria already knew what SA was doing with the sound and thought of a way of making Thiers more melodic that's why Nigeria's infused afrobeats in it making it sound different but real talk and respect to SA for the Amapiano culture now DJ play me KUNKRA 🙌🙌
This is some real real! "...we don't see what will catch a whole ton of money and turn a blind eye to it..."
I am glad with most of these comments no one is trying to fight South Africans do amapiano Nigerians use amapiano elements in their afrobeat, done.
Fair
Then stop claiming that you took it to the world
If a new sound comes out from Africa, if Nigerians don’t jump on it, it won’t fly to the other parts of the world. So I see Nigerians as the gatekeepers to every sound birthed from Africa. You kind of need a big Nigerian artist to approve your sound
I think you have a point here, not sure others will necessarily agree
lol, utter rubbish.
@@MJWemoto nope we don't agree. We don't need Nigeria to blow up. We've had artists being superstars before this era. We had Lucky Dube, Marian Makeba, Rebecca Malope, Brenda Fassie etc

Nigerians have sounds alrady existing related to that of AMAPIANO - many don't really know, they will not know - Nigeirans don't argue on what they already known, call it what ever name...The lock drum is not diffrent from rollings in the days of TerryBeats, Nigerians already use lockdrums way back decades, talking drums already sounds alike and that's what it it...Nigerians should device a new name for their lockdrum music version. @MJ Wemoto
Interesting take! 💪🏾
Amapiano sounds like old Afrobeats from 2009. Jesse jagz - Wetin dey from 2009 is a perfect example.
@@MrSivram28thats how your amapiano sounds like to us south africans
If the Nigerian artistes havre adopted a name for the fusion, they would be accused of plagiarism. It is better to acknowledge they don't own Amapiano .
I think the real problem is that we Africans must learn to build bridges. The Nigerian artistes blend these fusions not knowing the possible outcomes but still take the risk of experimenting with music and give their all. When success comes ,there are issues.
For peace to reign, we must build bridges with love and respect for one another.
Apperently, you don't need a name for a good product... the consumers will give it one... even afrobeats don't have a permanent name yet... it's indirectly Nigerian music unknown to many. that is why others find it hard to crack it along...Nigerians din't ask for bridges they built theres and connected with the world and that took over 5 decadeds... let that sink...no emotions@@vibrantwoman1323
If you listen to naija piano most of their songs are remix of our songs
I think there's a case for this happening with many songs where they are looking for inspiration or a template to build from. We see this a lot with Tanzanian Amapiano as well
How can you say SA music is the biggest in Sub Saharan Africa. About this, you or your source did not research well. Tell me how many SA songs are in Ghana, Togo, Uganda, Kenya, Erhiopia etc compared to Nigeria's?
My friend, I mentioned in this video it is according to the Global Music Report which is the source of truth on music stats and there's a direct screenshot in the video of that very part. I'm not here to pick sides, the stat shocked me as well but I can only deliver the facts as presented

We never claimed amapiano..we respect the SA for creating it ..we loved it that why we use it..we are been jamming sA beating since day one
I respect you saying that but there are some that claimed it unfortunately
Our new minister of art and culture can chance it we as south Africans need to always comment about him and when we meet him talk to him about ama piano needs big investment in the art and culture it helps you. There dance clubs and kids rehears everyday but don't get big opportunity to make ama piano shine out there. We need to put pressure in him I put my trust in him
Being vocal and advocating for the genre to the right government representation will advance things very fast when successful but it's also ongoing work
@@MJWemoto yeah coz it's gonna create jobs alot of jobs if we push it as our commodity

Nigerians can't produce amapiano South Africans do it better.

Nigga calm down nobody in Nigeria is claiming Amapaino!!!
Nah nah bro, you need to tone it down yourself innit?
Kwaaito was copied as well and when our artists stopped doing it, the genre died... Amapiano is different because as you said, the proceeds from there go straight to the artists, so it need to be protected they need to be assisted to access some of these key international markets.
Great video
Its like a woman giving birth to a child then someone helps the child become famous & claim its their own child leaving the Mother in disbelief.....Thats not cool at all...Respect must be given where its due
Dope analogy!
@neomarishane1239, Who is trying claim whose child? Nigerians has never and will never claim Amapiano and will never do so. Nigerians know that Amapiano belongs to South Africans and we have always credited South Africans for it. There is nothing like Nigeria Amapiano. South Africans have never had any problem with Nigerian artists infusing Amapiano into their music. It is because of this that there are successful collaborations between Nigerian artists and South African artists. The person who put Nigerian flag next to Amapiano is an American, and he didn't know. The people making a mountain out of a molehill are some African countries who are jealous of the success of the Nigerian music industry, and the collaborations between South African and Nigerian music industries. On the other hand, Reggae and Dancehall genres were created by Jamaicans. Artists from all over the world made reggae music, and it became popular all over the world. I didn't hear anyone complaining someone was going to steal reggae from Jamaica. It is shameful that we Africans are doing this to each other. This is why "One Africa" is dead on arrival.
Swae Lee is a Nigeria just a America rapper
😲
To me, amapiano sounds like our old shaku shaku songs like shoki etc... maybe that's whay we love amapiano
SA star representing Africa it will help you not SA. The history will tell of its origin!
Dear toxic South Africans, Amapiano is 1m% yours. Nigerians aren't dragging it with you. We are not doing organic Amapiano either. What we do is a fusion of some elements of it. There are several nations doing Afrobeats and we're not bitter about it.
Lol @ "Dear toxic ..."
No NIGERIAN is claiming Amapiano my brother, Nigeria are only Vibing on Amapiano , secondly Nigeria Amapiano isn't as deep as South Africa Amapiano but combination of Amapiano and afrobeat
🙆🏿♂️
That thing in Nigeria is not Amapiano...they have messed up the genre...if it is not original it is not it.
Do South African rappers give props to Black Americans for inventing rap, or do South African rappers just appropriate their Culture
This is such a good question and maybe deserves its own individual analysis
Do they fight with black americans trying to claim hiphop
@@nkazimulondlovu8056 Which Nigerian Artist are fighting with South Africans trying to claim Amanpiano???
@@nkazimulondlovu8056Yes they do
It bothers me every time I see or hear a conversation about Nigeria taking over or owning Amapiano. There's no Nigerian that I'm aware of that has made such claims including the artists. Nigerians don't own Amapiano. We love Amapiano.
So this conversation is purely a perception issue and should be addressed as such. As you've mentioned in your video, the influence Nigerians have in pushing sounds from Africa to the world should not be seen as a negative occurrence. Instead the conversations around this perception of Nigerians owning or taking over Amapiano should focus on correcting the perception. For example the suggestion you made about creating a genre called 'Amapiano fusion' helps differentiate the original Amapiano sound and the fusions from other countries or cultures.
I'm a Nigerian, I love Amapiano a lot, even more, I love South African music, loved it since the days of HHP, Proverb, Skwatta Camp. Genres like Kwaito, Afro house, Gqom. So please let's not generate any animosity towards each other.
Amapiano is a way of life, I was introduced to it through the Davido and Focalistic collabo - Ke Star remix. One love my SA and Naija peeps. One love Africa.
Thanks for your comment! Twitter has been a warzone for over a year with the claims and the conversation has largely evolved into claims like "Nigeria Makes Better Amapiano". This isn't plucked out of thin air for sensationalism. Check some comments on this video too. It's unreal
Hi @@MJWemoto, I hope you didn't take my comment as an attack at you. Just wanted to put my thoughts out there that we shouldn't be fighting each other over something that's clear - South Africa owns Amapiano.
Let's all enjoy good music and leave the business side of it to the execs.
I enjoyed your video and the one you did about whether other African countries will be able to catch up with Nigeria's international dominance. Salute. 💯
@@SoundGuyKelz nor at all, I enjoy the discussion because it helps peel even more layers to the issue. In turn it paints a better picture for us all. We have to keep the discussion flowing, always 🙏🏾
I have seen Nigerians claim Amapiano.
Why can’t SA musicians collaborate? You think Nja music just came to the world’s attention in one day? They have been grinding for decades! If SA make Afrobeats better than Njas,we will buy and 💃🏽 to it as long as it is great music. I hear you asking for handouts, special visas, percentage of music revenues etcs. There is no free lunch anywhere. SA owns Amapiano music. Don’t SA musicians rap with that genre? Do Black Americans complain that they stole their rap music.?If any Nja artist disrespects your music, call them out and we shall deal with them! Nigerian government didn’t help our artists get to where they are today, God and hard work did. Jerusalema became a national anthem for Master G. He collaborated afterwards with everyone.. If they play it in my Zumba class, we all go crazy!!! SA people think Njas are in competition with them. We don’t have the time; we have 99 problems. ❤❤❤ should be the common denominator for Africans.
When you said "there is no free lunch anywhere" I felt that, because Nigerians understand this concept better than anyone else. You have to compete to survive
Jamaicans didn't cry foul when Lucky Dube did it.
That's a fair point you know
@@MJWemotomore like a dumb point coz South Africans didn’t go around flailing like headless chickens claiming that they own Reggae.
@@PeaceStan it was a different time without the online mess we have today too. You even had groups like UB40 doing reggae and no one had an issue with it, just enjoyed good music and respected originators
Amapiano is of South African orign. Everyone in Nigeria knows and acknolwdges that. Those that don't just want to DRAG South Africans. you know "Drag" is in our blood. However, Amapiano is only an Issue because its become so big and the reason for that is not because of where it originated, but who has given it wings! where it originated is a big deal no doubt, but what it has become also matters. Much like football. the English gave us the game but we all fell in love with it because of the Brazilians who called it the beautiful game. the English have their credit, the Brazilians have their credit. Thats what is so hard for South Africans to comprehend. once Nigerians are praised for Amapiano, South Africans call it appropriation! No. its still South African Originated and that will never change. However, its global reach is not solely South African but with a huge influence, especially from Nigerians. People celebrate Amapiano because certain artistes embody the sound and personify it. it becomes more than just the sound but the art of the sound. South Africa should grow up joor
I actually respect this argument 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
when Lucky Dube was alive he was one of the best Reggae Music artists of our generation. But the Jamaican didn't ask them for any credit. NARCISSISTS South African's.
This is an interesting point. What existed at the time was a mutual respect for culture and appreciation of origins. This is why Lucky Dube was invited to perform in Jamaica, they respected him and he respected their culture. Jamaicans have in the past been known to ask for acknowledgement of the roots of Reggae from other non-Jamaican acts such as UB40 etc Musical gentrification is not necessarily a new topic, just depends on the factors at hand
Nigerians don't pretend or use style to take over genre from anyone. Amapiano belongs to South Africa period, but you don't because of that stop other nations from playing it. Lucky Dube rode reggae to limelight, he became the most successful African artist of the world in 1996, Jamaicans did not say he took food out of their table. It is only in Africa that you want to own & be jealous of your genre. Africa should have a rethink.
🫡
As a Nigerian, I understand your logic. But your hiphop artists don't call him hophop fusion, they or south African hiphopn they simply call hiphop, I'm simply asking that y'all remain consistent, this goes for your house music too. A little google search would have everybody know it's SouthAfrican
Thanks for this comment - it's a great way to continue the discussion! I see where you are coming from, however, I disagree. Hip Hop culturally tags every single country or regional variant by prefixing it to the geo-location: J-Hip Hop, Aussie Hip Hop, Zim Hip Hop, South African Hip Hop, Latin Rap/Latin Hip Hop - it doesn't matter where you go. South Africa is no exception. South Africa has a popular website called ZAHipHop, what does the ZA stand for? How about the popular SA Hip Hop Mag, why is it called that? or the biggest Facebook group for hip hop lovers called... "S.A Hip Hop" with over a million followers.
The very first House music variant out of SA is called Kwaito, which was a tempo'd down version. This argument cannot hold.
SAn artists did their thing and are still making waves on their own with the genre, they did not need help from Nigeria, social media did that. I find your assessment very much leaning on the numbers of Nigerian meaning you have not much of an idea as to how SAns are because that is not how we do things. There are festivals world over of Amapiano to a point where the Arabs and Spanish are now also doing Amapiano. The dance challenges help as well and SA creatives have that on lock.
I agree with you. My aim is to bring a balanced view and look at all sides. The Nigerian numbers I mention are in terms of context that it's a USP for them that comes up all the time NOT to say they carried South Africa's Amapiano. I'd never say that, ever.
How many Nigerian musicians do any form of amapiano fusion, to begin with?
I don't think there's an answer for your question, however, many high profile Nigerian acts have Amapiano fusion songs in the last 2 years including Davido, Burna Boy, Wizkid, Adekunle Gold, Kizz Daniel, Ayra Starr etc The sound is definitely in mainstream Nigeria's upper echelon, no question
You lie. It is only in a handful of songs. But you sound like Amapiono is what is giving Nigerian artists global recognition instead of Afrobeat. Please, stop this nonsense. You're trying to put two countries up against each other for your own selfish gain.
😂 wetin Naija sabi about Amapiano. Make una leave am alone abeg o. It 100% SZA. Stop trying to copy and jack SZA style. Leave their creation to them. Go create yours Nigeria. Geez!
🙆🏿♂️🙆🏿♂️🙆🏿♂️🙆🏿♂️
As a Nigerian, i will say we don't own or claim amapiano, we only rebrand it and make it sound well to our test.
Pay more attention to amapiano from both countries and you will notice the great difference, it does sound the same at all 👌
I hear you. They don't sound the same. For a period of a couple of years 2021-2022 is when we heard the Nigerian version trying to mimic the SA one until they figured out a unique variation
Some years back, I commented on someone channel were I said this one South Africans are showing off their Amapiano, if our Nigerian Artists starts to fusion their pattern, a time will come their own Amapiano will get lost. And another Nigeria vs Ghana war will start but this time around it is Nigeria vs Southy...
Prophetic!
What fight.. whom and whom dey fight? Did Nigerians told you people they created amapiano ? Or una just dey find gist wey no make sense.

@@jerryotomewo6284 still the fact remains nigerian amapiano it's fake because the sound is afrobeatz and features amapiano beats but the real amapiano it's a house music which is modified to amapiano beats and mixed with different south african rhythms including kwaito etc which is not part of nigerian music

I hear you
but there is no amapiano song in Nigeria, if so give me a playlist. I have listened to some songs of which people are claiming to be amapiano, and the bpm is too high, adding logdrum doesn't make a song a piano song
I get your point but there are plenty Amapiano-esque songs in Nigeria with the right tempo and many elements spot on. They might not be huge or popular like other works, but they exist. Your point is still well-taken though. What is more of the conversation now is things like calling everything with a log drum 'Amapiano', which, to your point, is incorrect so I agree with you.
give me few names I want to check them out@@MJWemoto
Nigerian are everywhere in the world 🌎 and it’s easy for people to support Nigerian music because most Nigerian are almost all around the world compared to South Africans

I think the South Africans should tell more of the story behind Amanpiano.
See how everyone in Nigeria traces Afrobeat to Fela, to freedom...to influence with songs.
Y'all should tell the story so we don't waterdown your original culture.
Then it will reign and fade like an imported sound that it is to us.
...as against being a generational culture of the South Africans.
I agree fully. Documenting these stories is a great first step to educating the world about the history

even dancing to amapiano SA do it bttr...i see Nigerian trying to dance to it...its not happening...hence even vocals are done in southern African languages...zulu, sesotho, xhosa, very very few in English.....Nigeria stop it...even dancers to amapiano come to SA for lessons from abroad....

The main reason why Nigerian amapiano is going faster on the world stage... is simple..
Most Nigerian artists sing ampiano in plain English and its easy to understand around the world... whilst South African artists do not even know how to sing in English.. they have strong accent.. regardless of amapiano originate in SA.. Naija boys are winning.
😂😂😂😂SAns have a strong accent 😂😂😂 that's funny my Godooooooo
😲😲😲😲😲
South africans are not seeking for approval from anyone that's why we use our own languages and it's always been like that for genres we created because it doesn't make sense to us to create a whole genre and sing in other people's languages just because we want approval... That's actually stupid. It's like y'all are ashamed of your languages or something.
😂😂😂 strong accent when South Africa is recognised as a native English speaking country 😂😂 you're funny. There's a reason that English medium Apps and Schools around the world hires mostly South African teachers to teach English from Africa.
