“I pioneered many vibes Afrobeat artists thrive off today” – Ckay brags

Nigerian singer Ckay has confidently stated that many of the vibes and sounds popular among today’s Afrobeat artists were pioneered by him.

The “Love Nwantiti” crooner made the daring statement in a recent post on his X page.
