“Afrobeats is meaningless and empty” – Burna Boy slams Afrobeats musicians (VIDEO)
Afrobeats lacks depth, according to Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Burna Boy, and the majority of Nigerian musicians are inexperienced.
Burna Boy asserts that 90% of Afrobeats musicians sing ineffectively and lack the skills necessary to create music with depth in a recent interview.
He then uses himself as an illustration of what he has attempted to emphasize, claiming that, in contrast to other Afrobeat musicians who sing about nothing, he creates music on a variety of subjects.
‘AfroBeats as people call it, is mostly about nothing, literally nothing', he says. ‘There's no substance to it — like, nobody is talking about anything in it. it's just a great time'.
The statement has not sat well with some music lovers who claim the afrobeat act is being greedy and self centered for rubbishing the exact genre that made him.
