Radio presenter Freeze has been getting himself in the news quite frequently in recent weeks. After conducting an eye-opening interview with D’banj he got into a Tweet fight with maverick producer Don Jazzy but they’ve settled their differences and moved on.
The COOL FM OAP was a guest of UK’s Factory 78 and was asked to give his list of ‘Top 5 Nigerian Artistes’.
Freeze gave an interesting list mentioning the likes of D’banj, 2face, Psquare, Davido, Wizkid, Ice Prince.
Here’s his list below and reason for picking them…
5. Ice Prince: (No comment)
4. Wizkid: Freeze says the 22-year-old EME pop singer is ‘great’ and hardworking but takes fourth position because he feels he is not really in touch with his reality as compared to Davido.
3. Davido: Freeze explains he is placing Davido a step higher than Wizzy because he feels the 20-year-old is more in touch with his reality as a musician making reference to the ‘All of you’ track the singer recorded on his debut album.
2. 2face and Psquare: Freeze says Mr Idibia and the pop duo tie on his number two position – while not making further comments on Peter and Paul Okoye, he does have a few words for 2face.
Freeze says 2face is a ‘talented musician’, makes brilliant music although he doesn’t understand his recent songs that have to do with ‘freedom fighting’, ’2face is meek like Moses in the Bible’, Freeze says. ‘He is also an inspiration to the generation, contributing his quota to making sure the next generation is not underpopulated‘, he jokes.
1. D’banj: Freeze places D’banj in number one spot. His reason? ‘I think he has gone through a lot, signing with Kanye West’s G.O.O.D Music’, Freeze explains and continues by giving props to The Entertainer’s former label partner Don Jazzy.
Freeze also makes reference to faded stars like Style Plus, The Remedies and Eedris Abdulkareembut then dampens the reminiscence by saying he’s ‘not here to resurrect any careers’.
