| Reality TV Personality Kidd Waya Lives at the BBC |
Nigerian Lagosian reality TV star Terseer Kidd Waya recently sparked conversation on social media after revealing which state he believes boasts the best music in Nigeria. The celebrity, widely known from his time on Big Brother Naija, shared his candid opinion in a now-viral post, highlighting one of Nigeria's major ethnic groups as the pinnacle of the nation's musical landscape.
Kidd Waya took to Twitter and declared the music culture of the Southern Eastern state of the Igbo people as superior. His exact words, which have generated significant buzz, were: “Igbo people have the sweetest music in Nigeria. I don't understand shit but at the same time I understand everything.”
According to Kidd Waya, his profound connection to the music stems from the Igbo ways of constructing their lyrics and their unique style of dance. He explained that these elements make him feel deeply engaged and "in love," even without fully grasping the literal meaning of the lyrics. Kidd Waya’s sentiment suggests that the musicality and emotive delivery of Igbo artists communicate a message that is felt rather than strictly understood, demonstrating the powerful and often intrinsic nature of Nigerian music to evoke emotion and cultural resonance.
