In a recent episode of the ”Screen Ink” show, hosted by journalist Asma Ibrahim, rapper Wiggs did not hold back while discussing fellow musician Rami Sabri’s commentary on rap music. Following the broadcast, I sat down with Wiggs to delve deeper into his thoughts and reactions to Rami’s criticisms.
Interviewer: Wiggs, during your appearance on “Screen Ink,” you made quite a statement about Rami Sabri. What prompted you to address his comments so directly?
Wiggs: Look, I respect Rami as an artist, but I feel like it’s time for someone to call out the misconceptions about rap. He has been given a platform to talk about a genre that he clearly doesn’t understand. When you’ve been in the game as long as I have, and you hear someone who doesn’t produce rap trying to speak for rap, it’s frustrating.
Interviewer: You mentioned in your Instagram story that Rami has been discussing rap on TV for four months. Why do you think that is problematic?
Wiggs: Rami seems to think that just because he’s popular in pop music, he has the authority to comment on rap. But here’s the thing: you can’t compare genres unless you understand the cultural context and artistry behind them. His remarks dilute the essence of what rap stands for. When I said he’s number 19 and too far behind, I meant he isn’t in the conversation with the impactful artists pushing boundaries in rap today.
Interviewer: Considering your recent achievement of becoming the first Egyptian rapper to reach one billion views on YouTube, how do you view your role in the genre, especially in relation to this controversy?
Wiggs: Reaching a billion views is a testament to the work I put into my music, and it also shows that there’s a significant audience that appreciates rap in Egypt and the Arab world. I see myself as a voice for that community. My goal is to elevate the genre and its narrative. When someone like Rami tries to overshadow that, it’s not just about me; it’s about all the artists who are working hard and innovating.
Interviewer: What message do you hope to convey to both Rami and your fans through this situation?
Wiggs: My message is clear: respect the craft and know your place in the music ecosystem. There’s room for all genres, but we must be honest and authentic about our contributions. For my fans, I’m committed to continuing to push the boundaries of rap and showcasing what it truly represents.
Interviewer: Thank you for your insights, Wiggs. It’s always a pleasure to hear your perspective on the evolving music scene.
Wiggs: Thank you for having me. Let’s keep the conversation going!
