He freestyled on Naetoc’s track…..he mixed in Nigerian words
“Kini Big Deal” was originally recorded by Nigerian artist Naeto C. Wale made this clear via twitter.
It’s in English and Nigerian pidgin English which incorporates bits of the three major Nigerian languages – Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba.
Just FYI.
Swear Naeto C Had This Song?/
Whoever posted this on rapradar better step their posting UP!! This is not Wales song!!! Its a nigerians.. he jst freestyled over it!! Thot the original artist should get his props!! NAETO C!!
@tamaea
dude pidgin english does not incorporate any parts of hausa, igbo OR yoruba, it’s just a broken form of the english language…. when trying to sound smart goes wrong.
6/10
@slowmo, pray tell… What part of “broken” english does the word “kini” fall into? Or “shebi”??
If you’re going to come up with an argument, at least remember ur context.
DEAD @ Slowmo loooooll…sooo true…tryna sound intellectual meanwhile she just LIED lol
kini big deal is not pidgin – it’s a slang….and kini big deal does not incorporate ypruba ibo and hausa…the only non english word there is Kini and it’s yoruba….so please Tamaea stop trying to over do it..Thanks
@takisha, and “kini big deal” (pidgin slang btw) now takes care of the whole pidgin vocab abi?
Besides, my comment was clearly aimed at Mr B.Dot who asks what language Wale is speaking.
Anyhow, Chief Mrs authority on pidgin, please go ahead. Kini Big Deal, abi?
naija ppl. una too like to dey disgrace una selves…lol. abeg no fight over yamayama song.
jus joking. the shit is tight. but stop the squabbling… abi kini big deal?
fresh track, keep doin it wale
Wale keep doing your thing Brother. #NoDaysOff !
people pls. stop the hatin,
yes the song was a cover of NaetoC’s original song and yes the original “kini big deal” song has yoruba and hausa lines in it so tamaea’s correct (not sure bout the igbo). can’t see why takisha and slowmo are making this a big thing AND laying into tamaea.
ease up people€
kini means what
No my bad I got kini confused with “kelo” don’t know how to spell it
@gbo you said “its a nigerians” like wale isn’t nigerian
@jimi: Wale is about as Nigerian as Barack Obama is kenyan lol
DUMB FUCK.nigerian pidgin english has bits of all the major nigerian languages in it. kini is yoruba. na is from ibo and shege is hausa. school yourself .
Plus Wale REGULAR releases music on the nigerian scene before you guys hear the stuff he wants you to hear. so stop hating and STFU.
or ask him himself.
and yes this song is so 2008 in Nigeria.
sit down, bitch.
woww, dint noe der wer dis many nigerians here. i feel great, i aint even gonna lie
U guys need to smoke something and stfu.
Goddamn Nigerians are every where ..like fuckin roaches y’all are the new Mexicans…hope una dey cool sha.
#ugh nigerians, these roaches are everywhere, they fight and complain over the smallest shit. ibo hausa whatever, smoke a blunt and shut the hell up. yall always just make it a point to give africans a bad look.
just enjoy your boy’s music, aint so hard.
wale is dope, i his basehead track he dropped better, but this is dope too, Mr. #NoDaysOff
see more on the song and what Naeto C original owner of the song thinks at http://questionmarkmag.com/2010/04/wale-remakes-naeto-cs-kini-big-deal/

Nice input to Naeto C song. Wale should come to Nigeria enbrace the harsh sun one of these days and the trigger happy police lolz.

Yoruba not Nigerian words get it straight! n9jaa stand up! DMV too
@J. Cohen No one is talking about “Pigeon”. The word is Pidgin. Two completely different things. Pidgin is broken English. Just clearing that up
pidgin does have a lot of huasa in it not just yoruba:
1. shege = nonsense = hausa word
2. wakka or uwakka = swear word or curse on you father = hausa word
3. ba = ? = hausa word
4. aboki = friend = hausa word
5. mallam = title of an islamic man or head = hausa word
6. kia or chia = rebuke or gesture = hausa word
7. geera = extra = hausa
8. wahalla = problems/ trouble/ unecessary stress = hausa word
9. whalla hi = i swear = hausa word
10. yanga or ‘making guy’ = showing off = hausa word
etc… this list goes on
