Myself, Wizkid created Afrobeats – Samklef

Samklef, a seasoned producer and performer from Nigeria, has asserted that he and Wizkid, a former partner, are the inventors of afrobeats.

Until they and Wizkid invented afrobeats in 2010, he claimed there was no genre in modern Nigerian music.

The singer of “Molowo Noni” claimed that Wizkid invented the term “afrobeat,” despite Fela having invented the genre.

Sharing a throwback video of himself and Wizkid on his X page on Monday, Samklef wrote: “Meet the Nigerian two kids that created the afrobeats sound of today. As of 2009, Nigerian music had no title! Until these two created magic! 2010! Even the award categories in Nigeria were Best Hip Hop, Best R and B, Best Alternative Music and Best Reggae! There was nothing like Best Afrobeats! It was Wizkidayo who named it afrobeats! Know this and know peace! Fela created afrobeat!”
