So today, we bring to you the best offering that will whet your “comparison appetite”. We compare Nigerian and American artists and see who they would be if the industries were switched. Take a look at the list below:
M.I will be Kendrick Lamar: Short and talented, amazing lyricists, and currently the best rappers in their respective countries.
Jesse Jags will be J.Cole: Underrated and unappreciated with little or no awards even though they have banging albums Also, it takes a certain level of intelligence to understand their songs.
Chidinma will be Keri Hilson: Daddy’s little girl, beautiful with no scandal. Both artists love singing about love and are wonderful songwriters.
Banky W will be Ne-Yo: Bald but wonderful singers with similar dress sense (the perfect gentlemen). They basically sing the same kind of music sef.
Darey will be John Legend: The best soul/RnB lyricists. Both love singing about love, can sing soul passionately (All for Me and Not The Girl), can play the life out of the piano, and are both wonderful role models in every aspect of the word.
Reekado Banks will be Shawn Mendes: Took the music industry by storm with their first set of songs and are no doubt going to take over in the nearest future.
Tiwa Savage and Beyonce: Both are the most popular female musicians, have a massive fandom (even though Tiwa is still like a low-budget Bey in this regard)… Also, TeeBillz and Jay Z also have something in common. can you guess what?
Asa will be Alicia Keys: They have nothing to prove because they can go on hiatus for years and the moment they bring out a new song/album, it is sure to sell. They also probably have the deepest lyrics for female musicians.
Ice Prince will be Fabolous: This is kind of unfair because Fabolous is considered a legend in his right. But they have both fallen down the pecking order with no hopes of rising to the top ever again… (We could be wrong, though).
Cobhams will be Stevie Wonder: Beautiful musicians, wonderful piano players, and they both have more music sense than those who actually have their five senses intact.
Korede Bello will be ‘Childish’ Justin Bieber: No, not the Purpose Justin Bieber, I mean the one who sang “Baby, Baby, Baby, Noo, thought you’d always be mine”. Hopefully, Korede Bello will mature and find his purpose. He probably needs a Selena in his life.
Wande Coal will be Sam Smith: Not this Wande Coal tho, the Mushin to MoHits Wande Coal was gold.
Don Jazzy will be Timberland: This should be self-explanatory, right?
DJ Spinall will be DJ Khaled: Uses other artists to make money, says almost nothing in their songs, but always have banging songs.
Yemi Alade will be Lady Gaga: They are the best pop stars in their respective industries. Hopefully, we have seen the last of lyric-deficient Tunbum Yemi because we have no other very popular female pop star but her.
TuFace will be R Kelly: Forget the personal problems. Musically, they are legends and can actually do no wrong ever. Their songs are always going to bang no matter what goes on in their personal lives. True Legends.
Tekno will be Chris Brown: Tekno already dresses like, dyes his hair like, and dances like Chris Brown, so there’s no need for further comparison.
P-Square will be Usher: The confessions Usher will be Peter, while the new Usher who doesn’t dance anymore will be Paul.
Dipp will be Omarion: Talented musicians and dancers but are never consistent enough to make a serious impact in the music/pop industry.
Omawumi will be Whitney Houston: Voice? Check! Beauty? Check! Singing soulful songs with an unrivalled passion? Check! No further comparison needed.
Waje will be Jennifer Hudson: New Age Soul? Definitely! Musicians that one can always bank on to deliver with each track/album.
Simi will be Lorde: Listen to Simi’s Simisola album… then you would know why!
Mode 9 will be Talib Kweli: Good lyricists, but spend more time abusing rappers than actually making hit songs. Also, they are almost unheard of anymore, but they keep forming ‘OGs’.
Iyanya will be Trey Songz: Both love showing their upper body at any chance they get, and they can’t have a good night’s rest if they do not sing about sex.
Falz will be Chance The Rapper: New school rappers, highly sought after, and would rather be broke singing about things that matter, than joining everyone in singing about babes, boobs, and booze. Funny thing is, they are cashing out more than those singing unnecessary vulgar songs.
D Prince will be Tony Yayo: Entered the music industry by association but still failed to make any impact whatsoever.
Adekunle Gold will be Ed Sheeran and Bruno Mars: Yea, Adekunle Gold is that amazing. He has great content and amazing talent like Ed Sheeran, and he is also not afraid to go out of the norm like Bruno Mars.
Jidenna will be Jidenna, and Wale will be Wale.
Phyno will be Pitbull: You don’t need to understand what he is saying, you will bump your head and grind to their songs.
Sadly, we couldn’t find any one for Davido, Wizkid, D Banj, Burna Boy, Olamide, and 9ice. So please, if you know who would make an appropriate comparison with them, tell us in the comment section below.
