Popular Comedian Kenny Blaq has recently shared his thoughts on his role in the music comedy genre in Nigeria.
Speaking in a recent interview with hip TV, Kenny Blaq clarified that he his not the pioneer of music comedy, he cited people like Gbenga Adeboye, CD John, and others for inventing the genre.
He noted that his comedy approach is inspired by modern day musicians such as Wizkid and Davido, which set him apart from earlier music comedians.
In his words:
“Because of the way I did music comedy, a lot of people have the impression that I brought music comedy to Nigeria. Some people think that I started music comedy as a genre.
But they were music comedians like the late Gbenga Adeboye, Fung Otong, MC Miracle, Maleke and 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.”
