Hurricane Fvck You Challenge appears to have subsided after ripping through the industry for 3 weeks straight.Kizz Daniel's Fvck You has without an iota of doubt,over-taken Olamide's Who U Epp to become the most refixed nigerian song ever.Its easier to count who didn't have a version than who did.
A 'Women are Scum' narrative certainly isn't new to us but Vado's wittiness amidst a quite absorbing rhythm on a stellar Young John beat make Fvck You a quite extraordinary song.While some artistes derived their inspiration from the 'Fvck you' tag next to the names of numerous industry big weights,others were by the philandering lover theme.
Lets start with the best 3.
ERRIGA
The Warri-born pidgin lyricist syncs brilliant expression with intense emotion so well his Fvck You cover couldn't have turned out any nicer.His lines are scathing and depict a very natural frustration.
The curse-laden verse is very excellently delivered and he caps it off in some style by doing a little singing.How is this for humour-"I pray dem use all ur pant/If e no reach benz/Make dem use am buy booze".Dope.
SEYI SHAY
Mzz Shay's was the most controversial before Victoria Kimani dropped hers.The line 'You know i'm not Savage,i dey pay my bills' appears more than anything a shot at her arch-rival,Tiwa Savage and her former husband and manager,T-Billz.
But also worthy of note is the fact that Seyi Shay added the best twist to Kizz Daniel's chorus, by including a 'Not You' category to her Fvck You list on the chorus.Having come after the 'Tiwa' line,there is a strong urge to feel she truly means it when she says "Wizzy Fvck You,Teni Fvck You,Simi not You".
LADIPOE
The Mavin records rapper played 2 cheating and aggrieved lovers on his version and he was brilliant with the back and forth.With a fabulous concept and some sublime rapping skills,his Fvck You cover ranks among the very best.
THE WORST 3
VICTORIA KIMANI
Memo to all singers who can't sing: learn from Victoria Kimani.Work on getting a gorgeous body,flaunt it whenever you have to and be as controversial as possible on your worst day.
Hers is by some distance the worst but tasteless and nauseating as her rendition may be,it had everyone buzzing because she referred to Tiwa Savage as a '45 year old grandma' calling herself an 'african bad gyal' and 'selling p***y'.And before those lines,she had accused Ycee of lifting her lyrics without giving her credit; the 'too much juice,too much sauce' phrase to be precise.The Kenyan singer's is the most controversial Fvck You cover hands down but also the least impressive.
CKAY
Kimani's former label mate was also disappointing with his version.Listening to a guy tell a flirty ex- she should be a rich b***h and ashamed for not having a house or a car felt a little off.Whats more?.He titles his 'Fork You' with nothing to suggest why he does so in his verse.
SKIIBII
A lot of people would say Kizz Daniel's Fvck You is the number one song in the country right now but the truth is it is more an industry hit.Skiibii's Sensima still hasn't been upturned as the bonafide number one song in Nigeria and his Fvck You cover was bound to get a lot of attention but regrettably,it falls below expectations.You are totally put off by a verse lacking in imagination by the time he resorts to key parts of the original version to sign off.Skiibii certainly wasn't at his creative best.
SPECIAL MENTION
An instagram musicomedian by the name Taofeek more popularly known by the handle twyse_116 made a hilarious version of Vado's song and on it,says the very blunt truth; the Fvck You challenge is nothing more than grown men coming together to 'Yen Yen Yen' about who and who their girlfriends slept with.
