Nigerian music diva, Yemi Alade has argued her colleagues to stop undermining the Afrobeats genre after it has shot them up into fame.
She was speaking against the background of artists like Burnaboy and Wizkid trying to distance themselves from the genre and create a different beat.
“I don’t see anything wrong in informing your listeners of the genre of music an artist makes especially when you feel it doesn’t define your art,” Yemi Alade wrote on her X handle.
“Just Announce your Genre in peace. Downplaying the role Afrobeats has played in every artist’s development is hypocrisy.”
