The genre used to be called ‘number’. But MFR Souls came up with the name ‘amapiano’ and popularized it. They are the ones who started it.

Since the popularization of Amapiano across Africa, Nigerian musicians such as Davido, Burna Boy and Wizkid have tried to create sensational music out of the trending genre, albeit, it has not received any form of unanimous nod from music listeners across the country.

Earlier in the month of September, Wizkid released ‘Bad To Me‘ and received mixed reactions from music lovers. However, Yahoo Boy No Laptop (YBNL) signee, Asake did exceptionally well with his debut studio album, Mr Money With The Vibe which contained several Amapiano framework.

Following Asake’s dexterity on his first music project, he collaborated with Tiwa Savage on ‘Loaded’. The single hasn’t really flabbergasted the mainstream music audience, hence, the attempt with ‘Koo Koo Fun‘.
