Nigerian Afrobeat music is “nothing,” and lacks “substance,” Grammy Award winner Burna Boy says.
Speaking about his upcoming album, “I Told You,” on Apple Music on Tuesday, Burna Boy said the new album is for everyone who has doubted him, especially in Nigeria, his home country.
Asked why it is harder for people who know him best to love him most, Burna Boy, who has over time described his type of music as Afro-fusion, said foreigners appreciated him more.
“When you realise that when you start going around the world, you start seeing motherfuckers that know me a lot better than those people I share…” he said, as his interviewer cuts in, saying, “experience.”
“Not even experience,” said Burna Boy. “Ninety per cent of them have no real-life experience, which is why you hear most of Nigerian music, or I will say African music, the Afrobeats as most people call it, is mostly about nothing. Literally nothing. There is no substance to it.”
The artiste added, “Like nobody is talking about anything. It is just about a great time. An amazing time. But at the end of the day, life is not an amazing time.”.
