Yemi Alade slams artists who downplay the afrobeat genre

Afrobeats Queen, Yemi Alade criticises her colleagues who downgrade the Afrobeat genre and urge them to declare their own genre without causing chaos.

The ‘Johnny’ singer stated that there is nothing wrong with an artist informing his listeners about the genre of their music.

She noted that it is hypocritical to continuously downplay the influence Afrobeat has had on the growth of all musicians.

Yemi Alade went on to slam Nigerians for siding with artists while they go at each other online rather than confronting the government over the nation’s notable challenges.

She said: “I don’t see anything wrong in informing your listeners of the genre of music an artist makes especially when you feel it doesn’t define your art.

“Just Announce your Genre in peace. Downplaying the role Afrobeats has played in every artist’s development is hypocrisy. Electricity Tariff& Fuel are at a 400% increase.Naira to $ is dancing alanta.
The weather is unbearably hot. People are busy being wicked 2each other with daily increase in prices. Salaries have not been increased. Afrobeat artists are making the mess& u r picking sides instead of facing ur government.”
