Nigerian singer Burna Boy believes Afrobeats lack depth, and that many Nigerian artists have limited experience.
In a recent interview, Burna Boy asserted that 90% of Afrobeats musicians sing ineffectively and lack the experience necessary to create music with depth.
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’.
Some music fans have expressed displeasure with the statement, saying the afrobeat artist is being greedy and self-centered by disparaging the genre that gave him his start.
