Obagreatdatoye: Honestly, his arrogance is on another level. The day I saw him telling his fans "na God go punish you" after coming late to his own show, that was when I knew that guy had a big problem... very unprofessional and arrogant human being. |

Burna boy has been paid via endorsement to downgrade Afro beats sinces it's rising too fast to the world but one country sees it as a treat to their music industry. |

Noneroone: The end of a great artist… I know it was over for him once I saw the interview with his grand father and mother and then listening to his album this morning. I guess a Grammy cannot save a career after all 😔. |

Feelings79:Lol and what message are they sending? I like American r&b but don’t pretend like there’s any message. Most of it is womanizer or player music. I think you just prefer the rhythm of the American music but if you really listen to the lyrics you’ll see that they are not better |

Before you accuse someone, try understand say afrobeat is different from afrobeats. Wetin most Nigerians dey sing now is afrobeats. Burna neva exempted emself na, he just spoke the truth. He said most songs, but not all. If u agree with the truth, few songs in Nigeria have substance. And Burna neva insulted his fans, those who said he shot someone becos of woman, are dey really his fans. His truth is very clear 4k quality, las las his a musician and his making money. Dont complain, dont explain just believe. bigadler: |

This ungrateful boy is about to dig his own hole. The same afrobeat that brought you to limelight is what you denigrate? You are just a prodigal child who uses his left hand to give directions to his father’s house! |

Fact is everyone has his own style of singing. If Burna wan dey sing about life he is welcome he doesn't have the right to insult another person's way of singing. Plus he has just told the world that Afrobeats is trash and that includes his own music. Smh illicit: |

After snifing, inhaling and injecting banned substances into his body system, why wont he come online and speak trash? U think say Burna normal? |
Re: Afrobeat Is Nothing, Lacks Substance- Burna Boy by ddeola: 1:15pm On Aug 27, 2023 |
Na una misquote Burna. I honestly don't listen to all these our young artistes including Burna Boy himself because dem no get content, I mean real message. If na lie, please listen to any old song by Ebenezer Obey, Orlando Owoh, Sunny Ade, Haruna Ishola, Fela Anikulapokuti etc. you will see what Burna is talking about. I feel sorry for the young generation who are being fed with junks in the name of music and entertainment. Some of dem don do 10 different remix of just one song and they claim they are creative. Abeg, make una rethink and doll out correct songs, you all can do it. |

Burna boy is a liar. He didn't create Afro fusion. The first time I heard the word "Afrofusion" was during an interview with Lagbaja where they asked him what He would called the music he was doing since he fused so many Genres together like Hip-hop, R&B, Jazz, juju, Apala, reggae etc. And Lagbaja responded that he would call it a fusion. Like "Afrofusion" Burna didn't create it. I'm 100 percent sure. |

TheSuperX: We know Asake, Wizkid, Rema, Burna boy etc all over the world. These guys have performed in international stage. Currently in the US, Nigerian music is taken over. First question; who are you? What have you achieved with your life other than envy against your fellow Nigerians (because this is obviously envy, typical black man) Asake should be your age mate, perhaps, you are probably older than Rema. It is not only music you can do, you can do many things to shine in your own way, but this envy and bitterness won’t save you. Obama knows Rema, does your local government chairman even know you? Think about your life and how you are a mediocre before insulting people making the country recognized. Even portable is more achieved than you |

dazzlingd: You can yab o... The times where Nigerians are so much interested in foreign music has long passed. I could remember years back, especially on Christmas days, one could hardly hear any Nigerian song blasting from speakers. Even Shaba Ranks and the others reign pass Nigerian songs. Not anymore, we hardly have time for foreign songs as our boys dey fire correct gbedu back to back... Even oyibo dem love our songs more than we love theirs these days. Only someone who hates truth go dey look down on our musicians. Even OgheneRhema wey dey dohohohoho still better pass many American musicians in my honest opinion. At least I have calm down and dumebi in my phone... No take the guy too serious, na the money American musicians get dey deceive his brain. |
Re: Afrobeat Is Nothing, Lacks Substance- Burna Boy by dazzlingd(m): 2:24pm On Aug 30, 2023 |
correctguy101: Calm down by Rema seems to be the most played song in the US. They use it for TV commercials, it is virtually everywhere on the streets. Enter a random place and you hear Afro beats playing at the background. It is simply amazing 1 Like |

albert2512: Pidgin appreciated and bought internationally? 😂😂. It is laughed at. Pidgin English is just bad English. |
Re: Afrobeat Is Nothing, Lacks Substance- Burna Boy by Sladem05: 11:42pm On Dec 09, 2023 |
dazzlingd: Why are Nigerians like this? Many of you people have such an inflated view of your uncivilised,barbaric, backward, shithole of a nation. Where on the chart do you see an AfroBeat Artist on Spotify most listened? There is only one Afrobeat song on that chart https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/

etrange: What you say about music being more about sound than lyrics is true. You can’t compare AAVE or Jamaican Patois to Pidgin English. Are you mad? First of all, those dialects are way easier to comprehend than English. Secondly, Pidgin doesn’t have anywhere near the same recognition as either patois or AAVE because of media exposure. Most of the slang in UK, US, Canada and from other Western nations stems from AAVE or Jamaican Patois. Pidgin is not well known internationally. Not by any stretch of imagination. |
Re: Afrobeat Is Nothing, Lacks Substance- Burna Boy by Sladem05: 6:26am On Dec 10, 2023 |
albert2512: That is certainly not true. Pidgin English is just bad English. You people in Nigeria don’t even know how to speak the language properly. Most people do not understand Pidgin English on a global level. |

Sladem05: When someone is filled with bitterness and stupidity, this is the result. Are you sure you don’t have any history of mental illness? From what you posted, are you so blind not to see the same Calm down by Rema I mentioned among the top 10 global songs. Tiwa savage, Davido, Kiss Daniel, burna boy, rema have all performed in significant events ant the world and yet you didn’t see that one. You are such a bitter soul and a loser, please don’t bring your hatred and frustration here. Fool!! Mention one thing you have achieved in your entire miserable life? Just one |
