“Downplaying Afrobeats Is Hypocrisy” — Yemi Alade
Popular Nigerian singer, Yemi Alade has reacted to the debate of Nigerian artistes denouncing afrobeats.
Recall that Davido, Wizkid and other artistes have claimed that their style of music is not afrobeats, sparking reactions from Nigerians.
Yemi Alade was far from impressed as she stated that she doesn't have a problem with artistes denouncing afrobeats, but they shouldn't disregard it as it paved the way for them.
She took to her X handle to make her point known, she tweeted;
“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.
“Just Announce your Genre in peace. Downplaying the role Afrobeats has played in every artist’s development is hypocrisy.”
