In episode 23 of DayGenius Podcast, I sat down with one of the top rappers out of Nigeria, DANDIZZY, to catch up on his new project Life on a Wave. But we didn’t just talk music, we got into the real stuff. DANDIZZY shared his unfiltered thoughts on the ongoing beef between Odumodublvck and Blaqbonez, and why he feels it’s doing more harm than good for Nigerian hip-hop. He broke down how competition can be healthy, but when it turns divisive, it slows the culture down instead of pushing it forward. Trust me, this one got deep.

We also went into the behind-the-scenes realities of the industry, the role of A&Rs, how rappers can market themselves smarter, and his frustration with Afrobeats artists who only use rappers for viral rap challenges without actually featuring them on their projects. It’s DANDIZZY being brutally honest as always, and me trying to get to the heart of what’s really holding rap back in this country. If you love real conversations about music, hustle, and truth, this episode is for you. Tap in.
