The Nigerian rap scene is pretty exciting right now, with some of the top rappers having a go at each other. Vector and M.I are currently getting the most buzz, due to the release of their diss tracks, “The Viper” and “Judas The Rat.”

You can get actively involved, too, and attempt to write your name in the sands of time. First, you have to find out which of these two great rappers you need to battle, and that’s why you should take this quiz.
If you don’t know about the Drake & Pusha T beef, I’m going to assume you haven’t been on the internet, because OMG!!!!

Anywayyyy, Let me fill you in
It started like play when we heard a diss track from Pusha T’s album, saying Drake uses ghostwriters.. which means he doesn’t write his rap?

“The nerve, the audacity.”
Drake clapped back, calling out Pusha’s boss Kanye West, for having ghost writers including himself and also talking about Pusha T’s fiancée

“How did Kanye’s name enter this matter now?”
What happens next? Pusha T says drake has been hiding a child with a pornstar. We don’t know how true this is butttt…

…we know Drake didn’t see that coming
We predicted some things that have probably happened since this information broke out.. For example,

Drake has probably had to see a therapist..
Or he’s currently having an emotional meltdown

no no no no no no no no no noooooo
And if the press comes near him,

they might regret it.
And while Drake is currently trying to figure out how to explain the situation to his fans,

“you have to believe me guys, you have to”
His ‘ghostwriters’ begin to realise they’d have to work overtime tonight

‘cos they’re getting fired if they don’t go hard on Drake’s response
In the midst of all of this, We know that Drake’s child is definitely walking into school today like..

Haayy OVO BABY.
We’re all waiting eagerly for Drake’s reply and if we don’t get one,

then our predictions are probably valid!
Wizkid aka ‘Wizzy Baby’ is taking over the world of music, one hit at a time.

But like everybody else, Wizkid started from the bottom, more like the bottom of burnt Jollof rice.

This video of him rapping on Jimmy’s Jump Off is enough proof.

This is the wizkid that wizkid doesn't want you to see pic.twitter.com/yO3BPPA1pW

Who is that guy making noise beside him though?

We’re happy for Wizkid’s glo up o! Thank God he isn’t subjecting us to this kind of torture anymore.

What do you think of this video? Share your thoughts in the comments section.
Can you see this really fine man called Idris Elba?

When he’s not being a flawless man…

He’s delivering an awesome acting performance.

And this video of him rapping in a song with Phyno and Ghana’s VVIP recently dropped and he totally slayed.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Jid8ky-4jw&feature=youtu.be

It’s no surprise sha, he was a rapper before he went into acting. Dear Idris, please drop more bars for us, we love it!
Is this your face right now?

Well it’s uncle M.I that started it oh.
J. Cole fans were jejely tweeting their disappointment in him for failing to release the album he promised to drop in February 2016.

Coincidentally, M.I dropped his much awaited mixtape on March 1.

Mr J. Cole, M.I doesn’t have two heads now.
And after listening to M.I’s illegal 3 mixtape, a passionate fan tweeted this.

M.I is better than J.Cole, I'll give him that.
— T. Rânkïn' (@AfroVII) March 1, 2016

Someone then went to ask M.I this honest question..

https://twitter.com/OlunuAbiodun/status/704591074744860672

And this was his response.

It's not a whose better comparison.. He is amazing and hasn't even given us his best yet I believe.. I'm as great https://t.co/uYS9VIvZqs
— The Guy (@MI_Abaga) March 1, 2016

Ehn? M.I is great but is he really as great as the Jermaine Cole we all know?

This was what Nigerians had to say sha.

We are celebrating MI for a fantastic body of work. No you must compare him to JCOLE. Why not compare Kanayo O Kanayo to Tom Hardy
— Osi (@Osi_Suave) March 1, 2016

M.I isn’t so bad sha…

Yes MI is better than some rappers abroad. Awon young thug them them.
Please leave Jcole. Jcole is better than jcole sef😩
— Mukhtar (@mukimustapha) March 1, 2016

J.Cole is not anybody’s mate please.

..But you can't be calling MI & JCole in the same sentence, except there's great-grand daddy/mentor in between..
— Sensei (@sensei_7777) March 1, 2016

But anybody can achieve greatness even from their backyard.

Maybe he was standing too tall.

Pls who gave That short guy called MI a stool that he's standing on? Y'all better remove it, he's already thinking he's on Jcole's level
— A banter (@kingtobbie) March 1, 2016

Not everytime buy Naija to grow the Naira.

I really think at this point it's safe to say @MI_Abaga is the Kendrick Lamar plus little of Jcole and Drake of Nigeria
— Odugbesan Ifeoluwa aka Jesus Baby (@hadassah112) February 29, 2016

But finally sha..

Mi_Abaga is very good yeah!! but not JCOLE please!!! Platform or no platform.

You can listen to the mixtape here.

[zkk_poll post=21513 poll=content_block_standard_format_15]
You never listen to mainstream Nigerian songs for the content. If you need content, find Asa or Bez.

So get a banging beat and you’re good to go. But the fact that we don’t listen to the lyrics doesn’t mean there’s no limit. Sometimes, try. We are begging.
