Akon should shut up. He said he created Afrobeats that is a false. Plain and simple.

Promoting something is different from creating it.

He said he developed Dbanj and Psquare. Is he crazy? Guys that were already global artistes before they met him.

Naija Hip Hop music growth was organic.

1. First the Nigerian government made a law that prompted more of local content than foreign on media stations...getting airplay was vital for any musician to sell records.

2. Funds became available for boys to buy recording equipment and make their own music instead of everybody jostling to sign a contract with Kennis Music.

3. The Internet and streaming platforms made music available digitally and more accessible instead of having to buy the CD of an artiste that you heard on radio.

4. As the music became more accessible globally it became more popular because the sound was good. Then the Gen Z crowd of non Nigerians and Africans were more open minded than their parents as well.

5. The Davido factor. The son of a billionaire with decent music will be listened to... he has ALL the resources to invest into promoting his music.And that boy promoted his songs like mad. Boots on the ground and relating with DJ'S and OAP to get airplay in the USA. Anything were popular for US must go global.

6. I dont know who renamed Nigeria Hip hop as Afrobeats but it was a very recent christening of about 6 to 7 years after the music went global and the market needed a name to term music from. I guess it was meant to mean African Beats as a distinctive form. It started with them Davido and Burnaboy era.

Olamide, Tuface, 9ice, Ruggedman were definitely not calling their music Afrobeats.

Ghana and Nigerians are brothers. A lot of early Nigerian musicians were heavily influenced by Ghanian highlife and respect is due...and so Ghanian Hip Hop is also Afrobeat.

I still remember listening to Dr Pohs " na who cause am ". In 2008 when I was in Kano.

bro that’s why I said he sounded stupid for saying he created it rather than saying he promoted it..

your grandchildren will inherit your nairaland account by then

..😂😂By then my phone sef go Dey museum..That bipolar bot can not silence me cos truth Dey bitter like agbo Jedi.

I’ll be unblocked from political arena in the year 3035 just because I was speaking the truth..That bipolar bot or shey na seun be bipolar,no wan Dey hear truth..I Dey wait for blocking again oo.

Akon did not create afrobeat but he did put it on the global scene..He did well for the Afrobeat we see today..Thanks to Psquare too cause who could pay an international artist back then just to feature on a song..

SmartPolician:
Fela started afrobeat and performed in a couple of places outside Nigeria. That doesn't mean going global. How many people knew Fela in his days outside Nigeria?

What Fela did in his days was similar to what Oriental Brothers or King Sunny Ade did with highlife in their time. Afrobeat went global in recent times. Going global means everyone is playing and dancing to it by default.

Did oriental brothers sign to Sony Music?

That Davido boy did more for the promotion of Afrobeats in the western world than anybody.

Davido was buying the latest iPhone for air. club DJ's and Radio DJ's nationwide to play his songs in clubs and on air. As more people heard, the music spread.

He really put in the underground leg work.

Wizkid was already an international superstar when Akon had a deal with him.

The internet, online music streaming platforms and available funds for a lot of young guys to buy recording equipment to make music instead of relying on Kennis Music abd a very few others are what made the music popular.

Akon jumped on a moving train, he did not start the train. The likes of Junior and pretty, Remedies,Alex O Alex Zitto wete the early pioneers of this Afrobeats.

Juju, Highlife,Fuji, Apala and Felas original Afrobeats were the mainstream.music genres available

Bro Akon might have sounded stupid but truly he put the afrobeat on the map..That year you talking about we was still listening to Ghana musicians and French musicians like awilo and the rest..Dagrin was a rapper but still had more legs than wizkid and davido then..Davidos first single(Back When) was not even on the chart..When Davido dropped (Back when) I heard it first on Channel O and it still took 2yrs before people even knew it was this Davido..So Akon truly put afrobeat on the map..Don’t forget he was on the Wizkid holla at your boy rmx song but it was leaked and later featured on Roll it.

Here's a fact! Watching porn does not make you better at sex or in the bed. Same way, watching James Bond movies does not magically transform you into a James Bond clone.
