I'm a Fan of Jude and Naeto C
Incredible body of work from the both of them.
This battle isn't to point out who is better, its an opportunity to enjoy the classics and be thankful for these legends.

MI is arguably the biggest hiphop artiste out of Africa but Naeto C was an icon.
If i recall correctly, when Kini bid deal video dropped, Nigerians had never seen so much drip in a video.
Super C popularized d military salute along with the phrase "yes boss".

while you and Naeto C are battling it out I’m sure you’d need a few breaks to ease the tension, I suggest you play blaqbonez Haba at those intervals maybe 10 times. Thank you https://t.co/qhreKAGN8j

Asides impacting hiphop fashion locally, and having an MSc, there’s no metric you can use to compare Naeto C with MI. None at all. You can like Naeto more – that’s your personal preference, but it’s highly disrespectful to compare him with MI. Utter blasphemy. Stop. 🤮

I said Vector Vs Naeto C will be a Fairer Battle of Hits than Naeto C vs MI & everyone is saying Naeto C will Roast Vector. Which Rapper can Vector Battle Hits for Hits then? Weird MC? 😭😭

1. New Musician at MTV AMA.
2. Video of the Year at Channel O Music Awards.
3. Artiste of the Year at Headies.
4. Album of the Year at Headies.
5. Best Breakthrough Act at the MTV AMAThe disrespect!

Naeto C dropped 10/10, 5 and 6, Kini Big Deal, You Know My P,
I Gentle, Ako Mi Ti Poju and a bunch of other hits. Don't discredit him by saying he doesn't have much hits. If you're informed about this topic, you would know that's a lie.— World Publicist (@IsimaOdeh) May 21, 2020

Do you know how hard a flex it was then when Naeto C said

MI vs. Naeto C is a complex conversation – there's no need to over-simplify.
MI Abaga can produce 10 hits/popular songs, Naeto C will produce 5-6, tops.
However, Naeto C's biggest songs are way bigger than MI's biggest songs.
Context, guys. Context.
