In an exclusive chat with Legit.ng, multimedia journalist and digital producer, Abisola Alawode, talked about Nigerian artistes giving their fans in different locations a version of their song they can relate to.

He said:

"I think it's a no-brainer, the job of every musician is to entertain your audience, and the audience that would listen to your son in the correct version you released it e.g. Nigerians is not the same as those listening to it in other parts of the world. Look at how the white people's countenance changed because Adekunkle Gold used a sound they are more familiar with. They were enjoying the performance but it took it to the next level because he was able to change it to a sound they are used to. I think other musicians can adopt the same method, and try to find localized ways that their audience can enjoy their performance more. It's a good thing for other people to emulate."
