🎵 Afrobeats Artistees Sing About 'Nothing', 90% Have Almost No Real Life Experiences – Burna Boy 🎵

In a recent interview with Apple Music's Zane Lowe, Grammy-winning singer Burna Boy criticized the lack of substance in the Afrobeats genre. He mentioned that 90% of artists lack real-life experiences, leading to songs that are mostly about "nothing."

Burna Boy emphasized that music should reflect an artist's essence, including both good and bad days. He discussed his inspirations, influences, and his upcoming album, "I Told Them," described by Lowe as capturing New York's unstoppable energy.

The album's name reflects Burna Boy's response to doubters, including those from his own home. He explained that he had predicted his current success and wanted to showcase his experiences through the album.

Burna Boy expressed gratitude that Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti didn't live in this generation due to the prevailing ignorance and stupidity. He believes Fela's essence and messages would not align with today's society. The artist acknowledged his grandfather's role as Fela's first manager and shared his anticipation for his seventh studio album's release.
