Made in Lagos superstar Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun professionally known as Wizkid becomes one of the trending conversations online as he asserts that he is not an Afrobeats artistes.
The “Essence” crooner added that no one should ever call him an afrobeats artiste again and any one who does that is a b!tch or hoe.
Speaking further, Wizkid drags Afrobeats fans to filth as he stressed that those who likes his Afrobeats songs such as “Pakurumo” should not attempt to download his forthcoming album.
In his words; “Album done, see you soon bitches. Zion richer than you niggas lol!. And pls Abeg if you like Pakurumo Wizkid don’t download this new album..in fact delete me from ur playlist and your life.”
“And if you like Afrobeats, pls don’t download my album. I am not a fvcking Afrobeats artiste! don’t call me that hoe!.”
Speaking based on his own opinion, Burna Boy made it known to all that he is not an Afrobeats artiste rather he has created his own music genre tagged Afro fusion.
According to Burna Boy, being from Africa doesn’t mean that your music must be Afrobeats, clarifying further that there are a lot of music genres in Africa.
In another interview Burna Boy said that the only person that did Afrobeat is legendary icon, Fela Anikulapo Kuti. He added that UK has no input in Afrobeats they only accept the music genre.
“Afrobeat is one person only and that’s Fela Anikulapo-Kuti. The UK has no input in the naming of Afrobeats”.
