CKay, a Nigerian singer has set social media agog when he surprisingly ignored Nigerian leading singers like Davido, Wizkid, Burbaboy to attributing the global success of afrobeat hit songs to Tekno and Runtown.

He stated this via his Twitter handle on Friday, June 16, 2023, affirming that someday in the future, the Nigerian music industry would sit at a roundtable to talk about the importance of Tekno and Runtown to Afrobeats’ crossover success.

Significantly, this twitter post is coming a few days after The Nigerian Voice reported how the "assurance crooner" attributed the success of afrobet music to himself and Wizkid, the Nigerian Grammy award winner.

He wrote: “One day, we’re going to sit down and talk about how Tekno and Runtown’s music paved the way for songs like Love Nwantiti, Emiliana, Ku Lo Sa & Calm Down.”

The question as to who is the pathfinder of Afrobeat in Nigeria still begs for answers.
