Nadia Nakai Dishes On Why Amapiano Is Not Her Cup Of Tea
Nadia Nakai Dishes On Why Amapiano Is Not Her Cup Of Tea. Nadia Nakai recently opened up about her feelings toward the Amapiano music genre, revealing why it doesn’t resonate with her artistic sensibilities.
The candid rapper, celebrated for her fearless lyrics and daring fashion choices, recently explained her firm stance on avoiding any involvement with the Yanos sound. Speaking during an interview on 947 FM with DJ Mo Flava, Nadia Nakai said that Amapiano is not the sound that represents her true identity.
“No, Piano is not authentic to me, it’s not who I am,” she said. “I feel like if I ever had to do that you would clearly see that this is not who I am. I’m not a dancer and I feel like you have to dance now, even DJs are dancing, it’s crazy, I’m not like that.”
The confident hip-hop artist emphasized that she takes pleasure in rapping and has reached a stage in her career where she must release the music she desires, rather than what is expected. Nadia affirmed that she doesn’t rely on releasing music to sustain herself, unlike those who transitioned to Piano and now depend on it for their livelihood and well-being.
“I enjoy Hip-hop, I enjoy rapping, I love hearing myself rap, I love hip-hop and how it sounds that’s just me and that’s what I’m always gonna do,” Nadia said. “I think I’m at a stage in my career where I am fortunate enough to still be able to drop the music I want to, not that I need to. I dont need to drop music and I will still be okay. I know a lot of people who switched because they need to because it is their income and that’s what needs to happen and I get that.”
Nadia Nakai also disclosed that she has received offers to collaborate on Amapiano tracks, with her most recent collaboration being with the MajorSteez brothers. “I did a song and it’s called Delicious with MajorSteez but I rapped on the song but I feel like it just doesn’t work. Rap doesn’t work on Piano like that. For me it doesn’t sound right, I like the way Piano sound the way it is,” Nadia Nakai added.
