I Tried To Get Wizkid In Roc Nation & Drake Copied Wizkid In "One Dance" --Wale

Top Nigerian/US rapper, Wale has opened
up on Nigerian music with particular focus
on Wizkid.
In an interview with Factory 78, he said he
tried to get Wizkid signed on to Roc Nation
way before he became a global brand.
He also said he feels Drake copied Wizkid's
style on his hit track on Views album, One
Dance..
Wizkid is credited as a co-producer on the
track so it could mean he wrote part of the
lyrics..
Wale said;
I would like to hear more of Wizkid.I would
like to hear more of Wizkid on one dance.I
could hear more control.It sounds like
Wizkid's song.He sounded like Wizkid on
that song.The lyrics, the style
everything,.I mean he is a phenomenal
writer but I just feel like he sounds like
Wizkid on that song..
On Nigerian music,he said
I'm proud of Davido and Wizkid and
Olamide. There is alot of dope artists
coming out right now .
.I knew it was gonna get there. I
mean,Nigeria got like a whole 60 % of the
swag in Africa. I always knew .I remember
bringing the idea of signing Wizkid to Roc
nation to the guys out there .Like early on.
It was way before this time. I knew it was
gon get there. I got like 7 songs on the
internet with him. If I had held on to him
back then,it would have been a different
story.
