According to the singer, 90 percent of Afrobeats songs is devoid of real-life experiences and only portray an amazing time which life isn’t all about.
The self-styled African Giant made this known in a recent interview on Apple Music.
“Not even experience, because half of them, like 90% of them, have no real-life experience that they can understand.
“That’s why you hear most Nigerian music, African Music, or Afrobeats, as you people call it, is mostly about nothing, absolutely nothing. There is no substance to it, like nobody is talking about anything, it’s just a great time. But at the end of the day, life isn’t an amazing time.”
His statement has since sparked a range of reactions on social media with some agreeing with him, and others criticizing him for being arrogant.
DO YOU AGREE WITH HIM?

The truth is afro beat have become something else.
Fela's song was substantial.
But now all they sing about is money, weed and women.

There's no call for criticism here. The guy just made his opinion known to those who cares to know, and if you care not, then forget it. Yeah, that's simple.
However, this statement of his is about to provoke a revolution that may bring the afrobeat into desolation. Because recently the WHITE are beginning to take interest in afrobeat, and I wonder what will be their response when they get to hear this.
