Focalisitc gets dragged by a majority of social media users after Nigerians credit Davido for making Amapiano genre global.
The genre is undoubtedly a South African genre and musicians like DJ Maphorisa, Uncle Waffles, Kabza De Small, Foca have been doing everything in their power to export the sound to the global scene.
However, Twitter quaked after it was stated that the Ke Star remix featuring the Nigerian singer catalysed the genre globally.
“Davido is the one who made amapiano go worldwide after the Remix with Focalistic ke star South Africa need to be grateful to him because he made amapiano go international,” a Nigerian tweep wrote.
Nna I blame Focalistic. If he didn’t add Davido on that track we wouldn’t be here.

Let me set the facts straight. Davido heard Ke Star from Alicia Keys… I asked @TebogoMalope to send it to Swizz Beats & he did. Swizz Beats then asked his wife to use it as the background music in her instagram video, David then heard the song & begged Focalistic for a remix!✊🏿

I still can’t believe Focalistic removed Vigro deep from “Ke Star remix” and featured Davido, look at how that country is obsessed with our genre now 💔

I told y’all Focalistic steals from Underground Bacardi artists and gave y’all proof a few months ago.
And what annoys me is how he says he supports “Kasi excellence” but he steals from it. He’s got a lot of mean energy for someone that tiny https://t.co/XcgUVDaC7i
