Winner90:You lack comprehension; pidgin also is not an inferior language. Would you consider patua an inferior language? The import of all Burna said is that the music being churned out lack content/message or creativity. |

Coldie:@Emboldened Hee...hee..hee...Someone finally said it.The hatred from those groups you mentioned towards the sound and the artistes is quite amusing and disturbing.Funnily enough,the greatest proponents and consumers of the sound are from cultures and races who do not even look like Nigerians 2 Likes |

Burna boy is wrong and also right Burna boy is not doing real afro beat but afro fusion,the original aim of afro beat sound is to talk about reality of life like bad govt,bad behaviour in the society,wrong influence of the western,talk life happening in religion,politics,which even burna boy is not doing,all everybody sings are just imagination of the gud life,money ,love,the wrong side of it is imagine rema singing about the reality happening in Nigeria ,how will it be sweet in the hearing of indians ,the wrong is he shouldn't have condenm what gave him 2 grammies 1 Like |

Na why I love Burna Boy - Ye. Omo that song really capture the way life be for naija for a wide majority of people. That song alone put Burna Boy as my number in Africa completely. Burna Boy has some truth is what he's saying now but he for no criticise e people for public |

Coldie: I go follow u cancel am. Very arrogant idiot. Na our most important export him dey cast like this o because him don arrive him wan spoil road for others. Him don climb so him wan throway the ladder. Music is all about taste and style, and frankly na the feeling way u get when u listen to a song na him be the most important thing. Go YouTube see as people all over the world dey praise Nigerian music say e dey give dem feelings when dem no know say dem possess. Wetin burna boy dey sing sef way different from wetin others dey sing. Burna boy sing pass asa, na because dem give am Grammy? Wetin many oyinbo musicians dey sing sef way dem dey use dey cash out for years. Use build a multi billion dollar industry. No be weed, pussy, and violence. Music mustn't just be about message. I detest this notion with all my power. Music must not be all about struggle, suffering. A lot of people listen to music to escape from such things. Music for me is all about feelings, vibes, emotions way e fit inspire, romance, nostalgia. Thankfully a lot of Nigerian musicians get this, make burna boy get out 5 Likes 1 Share |

Ojagun:U know the kind fight way dae burst for twitter steady between Nigerians and these people over afrobeats? Power black Americans with hundreds of thousands of followers would tweet "we don't want afrobeats" or "afrobeats is being used to replace rap" or "we must fight afrobeats" our question to them is they listen to oyibo music no problem y is afrobeats the only music triggering them? Now that burnaboy has given them what they need, they now have an excuse for y it triggers them, they will say it's because the music lacks substance, and when u as them for receipts they will point to what burnaboy said. This is the reason Davido is the only person I respect and follow on my social media. I don't follow any burnaboy, cause the guy no get sense no be just talk na real. 3 Likes |

Manfromlasvegas:People listen to Asake music without hearing one yoruba word he is saying and they vibe to it and people think people listen to music for knowledge. If person dae find wisdom person no know where gospel music dae? I am happy Asake exists in burnaboys era. Asake is a reminder to burnaboy that he isn't that guy. The only reason y his song is trending or topping on apple music charts right now is people just want to hear what he is singing, after this week all of them would go down as trash. All his songs are mid and sound the same. 4 Likes |

Has anybody ever been to any club before and told the DJ to play afrofusion? If burnaboy said he is not a part of afrobeats, if they remove him from the afrobeats conversation today would he be who he thinks he is? Burnaboy is a wack artist, apart from edsheeran he gave every foreign artist their lowest features in their career. Olamide is a better singer than Burnaboy 3 Likes |

Coldie:My brother,thesame thing can be said about their journalists.Watch any Nigerian afrobeats artiste interview with a white journalist and the journalist will ask straight forward questions with no untoward desires.Try and watch any interview with a Nigerian artiste with any black foreign journalist and see how they'll just be dropping bomb questions after bomb questions for the artiste to say something that will get them into hot water...Eiissh |

illicit:they're all birds of a feather.they are all in the same WhatsApp group.na only beats them get,most of them lack lyrical contents.infact good lyrical contents diee after the generation/era of lagbaja.it started deteriorating during the era of Tony tetuila, Idris Abdul Kareem and became worse during D'banj,ice Prince and wande coal era.when people like Davido, Olamide generation came up, lyrical contents died.na beats we dey chop so Burna boy doesn't even have the moral justification to say such because he's worse. Most of his songs lack substance. If we are talking about people who have the moral justification to complain about the death of lyrical contents it's people like Eminem,50cent, Micheal Jackson,sisquo, Kelvin little, Nelly, Whitney Houston, Rihanna Mariah Carey,then in nigeria sunny Ade, wasiu ayinde,Shina peters, Tiwa savage,sinmi etc Burna boys songs can't even stand the test of time like wasiu ayinde, Fela, lucky Dube,Bob Marley, Christian essein,onyeka onwenu,majek fashek etc because it's lyrical contents that make songs last.moreover Burna boy lacks originality.hes always lifting songs from older generation musician.afterall he lifted Toni Braxtons man enough for his breakfast song |

I think music is about beat and lyrics. U can have good lyrics but without good beat, it's rubbish. U can also sing rubbish in terms of lyrics but with good beats, u can still make waves |
