Burna Boy is tapping into a strategy in which you make controversial statements so as to call for attention to yourself. It works all the time. 10 Likes 2 Shares |

He is correct. Since he's not talking about Fela or Lagbaja or Sunny Ade kind of Afrobeat. He's referring to his contemporaries today, and he should have clarified that. His music too is not exempt from his comments anyway. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

This guy is an idiot He just insulted his own people in the international stage The guy is basically trying to rubbish the efforts of his countrymen and women You'll never hear Koreans say this about kpop even tho it's usually rubbish. But a Nigerian will always look for ways to denigrate and block road for others once they attain certain international status Somebody should remind the fool that his biggest hit was popular for the phrase 'i need Igbo and shayo'....this is the same fool accusing others of lacking content 12 Likes 2 Shares |

Winner90:Burna's Twice as tall won granny. Go and check how appealing that Album has been to people outside the shore of this country. Europe, America etc. Asake's lonely at top isn't globally appealing? Where una dey get una igbo from? Rema's Baby Calm down nko. All burna was saying is that Afrobeat needs to start having meaning and not this language issues you're bringing up. Once you have a nice song, language won't matter 5 Likes 1 Share |

SailorUgo:music is different from song. When you sing, the language and message are VERY IMPORTANT. Infact, it's the message that determines song category and audience. How do you expect a serious person who appreciates creativity to listen to a song whose sole theme is sex, women and money? SMH come on, Afrobeat is just noise. 1 Like |

lekanation:Nigerians truly know little about music. If you do a proper research, you'd out that most of the songs you love were sampled be it beat, lyrics etc Sampling isn't a crime Artistes like Kanye West took sampling to a whole different level |

Do people even care about substance this days, as long as they can vibe to the song, it ok eg calm down by rema, the song is empty but the beat is captivating and it has made him a global star. Most American songs lack substance too, most of their songs are about money, drug, sex, Their Female rappers only talk about pussy, money and nonsense . Generally people who make good songs like Rihanna are no longer singing and in order to make it quicker people tend follow what is selling. In conclusion people who do good music are few and they are converting to the other way around so that they won't fade out. 5 Likes 1 Share |
