Popular Nigerian comedian Kenny Blaq has clarified the notion that he started music comedy in Nigeria.
The funny act said that he did not originate the genre, acknowledging the late Gbenga Adeboye, CD John, and others as among those who laid the foundation for music comedy in the country.
However, Blaq noted that he introduced “the Wizkid and Davido vibe” to the genre.
In a recent interview with Hip TV, he explained, “Because of the way I performed music comedy, many people assume that I brought the genre to Nigeria. Some even believe I started it.
“But they were music comedians like the late Gbenga Adeboye, Fung Otong, MC Miracle, Maleke and the late CD John. But I think what made mine different is my approach towards it.
“I brought the Wizkid and Davido vibe into it. And I was able to do different genres of music with my comedy.
“Those who did music comedy before me did a particular style of music comedy. They were either doing Igbo or Yoruba music.
“But I was doing mashup, covers, and I was telling stories and I was consistent with it.
“I did not start music comedy but I can say that I’m one of those that have made music comedy strong in this part of the world.”
