“I Get It Now” — Burna Boy Admits to Misjudging Afrobeats, Issues Apology
Popular Nigerian singer, Burna Boy, explains why he has been distancing himself from the Afrobeats genre.
In a recent interview, the singer stated that he was still unsure about how the genre of music worked.
“At the time, I didn’t understand that we needed an umbrella for the genre—for the music to get recognition like R&B and Hip-Hop. I didn’t come to terms with it until I started seeing the reactions and the division it was causing, so I got the point of the Afrobeats tag.
“If I had understood then, I would have gone about it differently. Why would I want to destroy what I’m building?
“I didn’t realise the Afrobeats tag is needed to make it global, because there wouldn’t be any R&B, Hip-Hop, or any of these popular genres if their beginnings had a lot of separation. So now, I totally get it and apologise for the confusion.”
Nigerian singer Wizkid has reacted to the reported clash between Burna Boy and DJ Tunez.
Wizkid took to social media to mock Burna Boy, making controversial remarks and referencing Sean Diddy Combs.
His comments have since sparked reactions online, with fans divided over the ongoing tension between the artists.
Nigerian gospel singer Moses Bliss has reacted to the public backlash he faced following a request he made to graphic designers.
It can be noted that the singer took to social media asking for a graphic designer to create a flyer, which later turned into a challenge that many criticised, stating it undervalued creatives.
Moses Bliss has now issued an apology, saying “I sincerely apologize to every graphic designer who felt disrespected or undervalued… that was never my intention.”
He added “The goal was to give creatives a platform to showcase their work, not to undermine their value.”
Nigerian DJ, DJ Neptune has expressed concern about the growing influence of artificial intelligence in the music industry and how it could affect jobs.
It can be noted that similar concerns have previously been raised online, especially on platforms like Twitter, where many fear AI could replace artists and producers.
He wrote “AI is quietly about to retire the entire music production and mastering industry. I have seen scary things tonight. God help all of us in this ecosystem.”
He further shared how advanced AI tools are already capable of producing high-quality music, raising questions about the future of human creativity in the industry.
