 Yemi Alade slams colleagues for downplaying Afrobeats genre


Nigerian singer Yemi Alade has berated her colleagues who downplay the Afrobeats genre.


She said that while it is not wrong for artists to denounce Afrobeats especially if they feel it doesn’t define their art, it is hypocrisy for them to downplay the genre, adding that it has contributed to every Nigerian artist’s development.

They all claimed that they ditched the genre because all African artists boxed into Afrobeats regardless of their musical styles.
