Nigerian artist Yemi Alade blasted her fellow musicians who undermine the significance of Afrobeats music.

She acknowledged that it is acceptable for artists to distance themselves from Afrobeats if they believe it does not align with their artistic style.

However, she believes it is hypocritical for them to belittle the genre, as it has played a crucial role in the growth of every Nigerian artist.

In a post on her social media account, the singer of the hit song ‘Johnny’ expressed her thoughts.

 “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.”

Alade’s recent outburst on social media is happening in response to several Nigerian singers, such as Davido, Wizkid, and Burna Boy, who have publicly disowned the Afrobeats genre.

These artists argue that they have moved away from the genre because it confines all African musicians to a single category, regardless of their unique musical styles.
