In a recent statement that has ignited considerable debate within the music community, controversial American rapper Kanye West declared that he no longer listens to rap music. The billionaire mogul expressed his discontent with the current state of the genre, asserting that contemporary rappers are failing to produce meaningful content.

West’s remarks, shared on his X handle, underscore his belief that modern rap lacks the substance necessary to contribute to his personal and financial growth. He stated, “I don’t listen to rap. I don’t know who the f*ck is rapping anymore. Yuno Miles is likely my favourite artist. I’m a 47-year-old billionaire, why the f*ck would u listen to rap? There’s not one piece of information in rap that benefits my agendas or helps me get money.”

This perspective raises important questions about the evolving nature of rap music and its cultural significance. While some may view West’s comments as dismissive, they also reflect a broader shift in the industry, where the focus on commercial success often overshadows artistic depth. As artists and audiences navigate this changing landscape, the challenge remains to create music that is not only profitable but also meaningful and impactful.

As the summer sun graces Copenhagen, the Nigerian Union in Denmark is gearing up for an unforgettable gathering to bring together Nigerians living in and around the city. On July 27th, 2025, from 2pm to 6pm, Fælledparken will be abuzz with laughter, camaraderie, and a joyous display of culture as the Union hosts its annual summer picnic.

Ambassador T. A. Elias Fatile, PHD, CDAai, the Head of Mission at the Embassy of Nigeria in Stockholm, Sweden, will attend the event. While the Queen Phinadon will serve as the MC at the Event. This well-anticipated event isn’t just about fun—it’s about weaving even stronger threads of connection amongst members of the Nigerian community in Denmark. We find it inspiring to see initiatives like this that go beyond mere socializing to focus on fostering unity, peace, and a continued sense of belonging so far from home. There’s a unique magic when familiar faces gather under the open sky, share stories, and celebrate with traditional warmth.

To foster a dynamic and engaged community for Nigerians in Denmark, They aim to: provide support to members facing challenges; encourage collaboration in social, economic, cultural, and political spheres between Nigeria and Denmark; and actively contribute to Nigeria’s development. Further aims and objectives are detailed in our constitution, accessible to members.

So, what’s on the agenda this year? For starters, there will be an energetic football competition—because, let’s be honest, nothing says “community” like a friendly match where everyone is a superstar, at least for a moment! If football’s not your thing, don’t worry: interactive games, the quirky and always amusing king game, dance sessions, and plenty more activities will keep spirits high and bring out hearty laughs from attendees of all ages.

And it wouldn’t be a true Nigerian get-together without music and dance! Picture a pop-up dance party on the green, with classic beats and contemporary hits bouncing through the park, inviting everyone to join in. For newcomers, these moments offer a gentle entry into the circle, and for longtime members, they provide the comfort of nostalgia.

As picnic baskets open, treats are shared, and new memories are created, the day promises not just entertainment but meaningful connections—some that may last a lifetime. Whether you’re bringing your family, friends, or just your good vibes, this is your invitation to celebrate, reconnect, and bask in the collective spirit of Nigerians in Denmark.

Mark your calendars for July 27th, gather your game face (and dancing shoes), and get ready to be part of something special in Fælledparken. We can almost hear the laughter already—and we wouldn’t want anyone to miss out on it!
