On this episode of #ATTWSpace, we dive into the ongoing conversation around nepotism in music following the recent rise of fast-rising artiste No. 11, whose TikTok content and social media presence have sparked debates after it was revealed that he comes from a wealthy background. We unpack what nepotism really means in the Afrobeats space, how privilege shapes creative opportunities, and whether coming from money should matter in music.

We also react to the heated “Wizkid is the new Fela” debate, as Seun Kuti addresses Wizkid FC and makes it clear he’s not pleased with the comparison. What does Fela’s legacy truly represent, and can it be replicated in today’s music industry?

Plus, we review new music from Danpapa GTA, discuss No. 11’s sound and momentum, and touch on other trending topics shaping the culture right now.
