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.”
