Controversial Twitter personality, Daniel Regha, has taken to social media to express his critique of the new single 'Ohema' by rising artist Victony.
Daniel commenced his criticism by deeming Victony's latest release as a significant disappointment. He didn't hold back in his assessment, describing the song as the worst Afrobeat collaboration of 2023, despite its impressive lineup featuring 14 other artists, including Ayra Starr, Bella Shmurda, and Odumodublvck.

He not only advised against streaming the song but went on to assert that if older artists had produced similar pieces from the new generation, Afrobeat would have suffered a swift demise.

According to Daniel, Afrobeat is not merely about catchy beats and rhythms; the message conveyed holds equal importance. He expressed disappointment in the lack of depth in Victony's lyrics and suggested that a collaborative effort akin to "We Are the World" would have been a better approach for the multitude of artists involved in 'Ohema.'
Quoting Daniel Regha: “Victony’s new single 'Ohema' is greatly disappointing, it’s by far the worst afrobeats collab of 2023; A whole 14 artistes in one song, but couldn’t come up with a better theme or reasonable lyrics. He should’ve done something similar to 'We Are the World' ft many artistes. The song is a must-skip for anyone who hasn’t streamed.
“If older artistes produced the type of songs this New-generation musicians are making, afrobeats would’ve been dead on arrival; Afrobeats is more than a catchy beat & rhymes, the msg being passed across is equally very important. These new artistes are talented but lack songwriting skills, & are all doing the same thing (literally). If we take away the massive PRs or streaming platforms, majority of their songs won’t surpass 24hrs in the spotlight. Their audience need to start telling ’em the truth.”
