Burna Boy has addressed how Nigerian music is classified and the repeated mentions of “Afrobeat”, that genre of music associated with the late great, Fela.
The artiste corrected the show’s host who referred to him as the “King of this Afrobeat scene”, responding “First of all, let me correct you, it’s not afro-beat for me, it’s afro-fusion…”
“As far as I’m concerned only Fela Kuti does Afrobeat…”, the artiste added.
Burna was on the show to promote his recently-released third studio album, “Outside”, which we described as “a statement of intent from an artiste who has his eyes set on the rest of the world”.
