“Stop Comparing Me To Him”

Didi B, the young Ivorian artist, recently surprised DJ Arafat fans by asking them to stop comparing him to his predecessor who died a year ago.

Since the tragic death of DJ Arafat in a motorcycle accident in August 2019, many Ivorian artists, like Didi B, have been constantly compared to him. DJ Arafat was considered a true phenomenon of African music, a pioneer of coupé-décalé and a true icon for many fans. He therefore left an indelible mark on the Ivorian music industry.

Didi B, who had a rapid rise in the industry with his recently released hit single “Kpokpo O Body”, admitted that he was honored to be compared to DJ Arafat as an artist, but he also wants to be recognized for its own unique music and style. He said in an interview, “I’m grateful for the comparisons, but I’d like people to start appreciating my music for what it really is, without comparing it to DJ Arafat’s.”

Didi B has managed to stand out as an artist with her own distinctive musical style, mixing coupé-décalé with influences from urban and Afropop music. He has managed to create an authentic sound that is unique to him and has won him great popularity among young music fans in Ivory Coast and other African countries.

Despite the constant comparisons, Didi B has proven that he is not just a copy of DJ Arafat. He worked hard to build a unique musical identity and find his place in the industry. He has also shown great determination to pursue his own artistic journey, releasing numerous hit singles and working with other talented artists.

By asking his fans to appreciate him for who he really is, Didi B shows that he does not want to live in the shadow of DJ Arafat. He wants his music to be appreciated for its creativity, its lyrics and its talent, and not for easy comparisons.

Didi B has had to face many challenges since the beginning of his career, but he remains focused on his goal of becoming one of the best artists of his generation. He continues to work hard, release new songs and engage in interesting collaborations with other artists.

It’s time for fans to recognize Didi B’s talent and appreciate her music for what it is. Constantly comparing artists to others can be demeaning and reductive. Every artist deserves to be judged for their own creativity and originality. Thus, it is important to respect Didi B’s wish and support him as an independent artist.

Ivorian music is a melting pot of exceptional talent and Didi B is certainly part of this new wave of promising artists. Let him chart his own path and write his own legacy, without the constant comparisons to DJ Arafat.
