In the comment section, some South Africans trooped to accuse Swae Lee of discrediting their country, the origin of Amapiano, and wrongly crediting it to Nigeria.
Swae Lee, however, clarified in follow-up tweets that his initial tweet was misunderstood.
According to him, he added the Nigerian flag because he is partly Nigerian.
He wrote:
“For the ones outraged about the flag, I put it because I’m partly Nigerian. I didn’t say anything about the creation of the genre y’all tweaking”.
