Nigerian rapper, Modenine in a recent interview with Vanguard told the newspaper that he can’t rap in Yoruba.
Mode also said it’s harder for him to write a Pidgin English song than a normal English song.
In his words,
“No, I can’t do that, you know why? If there are people doing something and they can do it better than you, there is no point in doing it too because they are already way ahead of you.
It is harder for me to write a Pidgin English song than a normal English song. I can rap in English effortlessly. I don’t just write anything, I try to be clever with words like when I said, ‘They be bungalow brains, nothing upstairs;’ it’s a punch line, but it was done in Pidgin English.”
