American rapper Swae Lee received heavy criticism on Twitter following his tweet about Amapiano.
The rapper took to his Twitter account to share his excitement about getting on the Amapiano sound after recently visiting Nigeria.
He tweeted, “Wait till y’all hear Swae Lee on Amapiano”
In his tweet, he added the Nigerian flag next to the word ‘Amapiano’ and this made South Africans call him out for what they considered to be an attempt to credit Nigeria for the genre.
After the heavy backlash, the singer shared a video on his twitter account to clarify his tweet, stating clearly that he didn’t intend to create a ruckus between Nigerians and South Africans over who owns Amapiano, revealing that Nigerians introduced him to Amapiano and he put the flag because he is partly Nigerian.
