“Singer Buju BNXN clarifies that only a small group of individuals, including himself, are genuinely engaged in this endeavor with meaningful content. He highlights why he shares a strong connection with Burna Boy.”
Singer Buju BNXN has delved into the ongoing controversy that has stemmed from recent comments made by Burna Boy. The backdrop of this situation is rooted in an interview where Burna Boy expressed his opinion that a majority of Afrobeat artists tend to focus their music on upbeat and celebratory themes, often lacking in depth and real-life experiences.
In a recent Instagram live session, Buju weighed in on Burna Boy’s statement, aligning himself with the sentiments of the Grammy award-winning musician. He asserted that he resonates with Burna Boy’s perspective due to the distinctiveness that emanates from his musical approach. Buju made a direct comparison, mentioning that when he listens to Burna Boy and juxtaposes it with other artists’ work, the uniqueness of Burna Boy’s sound is evident.

Furthermore, Buju emphasized that this sense of individuality also echoes in his own music. He suggested that while there may be a handful of artists who infuse their art with meaningful substance, many seem to prioritize surface-level content or catchy rhythms.

Buju’s response highlights the underlying narrative that exists within the Afrobeat genre. The dialogue sparked by Burna Boy’s comments has led artists like Buju to reflect upon the content and thematic depth of their work, as well as the broader landscape of the genre itself. As discussions surrounding musical authenticity and the role of substance in artistic expression continue to evolve, Buju’s endorsement of Burna Boy’s stance further amplifies the ongoing conversation within the music industry.

“Portable Urges Nigerian Artists to Prioritize Afrobeats Over Amapiano After Grammy Outcome”
In response to South African singer Tyla’s Grammy win over Nigerian artists like Burna Boy and Davido, controversial artiste Habeeb Okikiola, known as Portable, advises Nigerian musicians to focus on promoting Afrobeats instead of Amapiano. Portable emphasized the importance of valuing Nigeria’s genre and suggested that sticking to Afrobeats would enhance Nigeria’s chances of winning international awards. He referenced the evolution of music styles, mentioning the prevalence of shaku shaku before the emergence of Amapiano. Portable asserted that Amapiano belongs to South Africans and cautioned that pursuing it wouldn’t lead Nigerians to Grammy success.
Some comments from social media users:
@lappoosky: “Even when Tyla won the award, they still played a Fela song.”
@Macy_Macy0: “After South Africa and Nigeria play, then we’ll decide this one.”
@Mahasmaan: “Brother, unlike Nigerians, South Africans don’t try to claim or imitate Afrobeats, we consume them raw. Nigerians are suffering from main character syndrome, you wouldn’t stand watching an SA genre shine!”
Here are some additional comments:
@HappinessUgboma: “It’s true what Portable said. We don’t value our Afrobeats, yet we want to use it to win a Grammy. It’s impossible. But when we use our own, it will go a long way and stand tall.”
@MaziLeeTweets: “I’ve been suggesting this: let’s leave Amapiano to them and focus on our Afrobeats. Nigerian producers should return to the drawing board and create fresh, distinctive sounds. I have confidence in SARS on this matter.”
@Sami011y: “The funny part is Amapiano isn’t the popular genre in SA. House music is more popular than Amapiano. Amapiano was just a smoke screen to generate attention for SA music! West Africans must stick to our Afrobeats because we sound very funny doing Amapiano!”
“Let’s promote Afrobeats and leave Amapiano for South Africans”
