Fireboy speaks on the evolution of Afrobeats to a more fused sound.
Recent trends have seen a host of Nigerian musicians coming out to denounce their Afrobeats claim. The likes of Burna Boy, Wizkid, Davido and Fireboy have all been vocal about this stance, heralding huge scrutiny from Nigerians. In a new interview, Fireboy has given a clearer explanation of the evolution of the Afrobeats genre. The “Peru” star noted that the legendary Fela created Afrobeat by fusing jazz with the African musical style before passing it down to the new generation who have fused the sound (Afrobeat) with dancehall, pop and RnB to create the Afrobeats sound.
“Fela, the Godfather of Afrobeat took the culture, mixed it with jazz & made what we know as Afrobeat. Then he passed it down to different generations, we mix our own with Pop, RnB, Dance Hall etc”

American rapper and businessman, Ye is known for his genius and magical creations through music and fashion. However, he looks set to diversify into the adult content industry.

Dandizzy reveals his stance on the assertion that hip hop is dead.
Sometime last year, Wizkid commented on the dying state of hip hop and this triggered a lot of criticisms from Nigerian hip hop fans and artists alike. However, Nigerian rapper, Dandizzy, who attained huge fame from freestyling in schools is the latest to agree with this claim. In an interview with Hip TV, the rapper explained that the Nigerian rap industry is being held back and new heads aren’t given the opportunity to facilitate major progresses within the industry. He further expressed his anger at being left out of the biggest/hottest rappers conversations, even after all his strides.
"It's not a lie. Hip-hop is dying"
