Popular Nigerian music video director TG Omori (Boy Director) has stirred major conversations online after boldly declaring his preference for Nigerian rap legend M.I. Abaga over American superstar Kendrick Lamar.

Taking to his X page, Omori wondered what truly sets the American rapper, Kendrick Lamar, above MI Abaga, stressing that aside from his branding and fashion sense, MI stands ahead.

He wrote, "What does Kendrick Lamar really have over MI? May just the branding n swag but My money will forever be on M!”

The statement has divided opinions across X. While some fans praised him for standing firmly behind African rap talent, others argued that Kendrick Lamar’s global impact and recognition can’t be compared.
