Yemi Alade, a Nigerian musician, chastises her colleagues for constantly denigrating the Afrobeat genre and encourages them to quietly establish their own.
Taking to the X platform, the singer remarked that it is not inappropriate for an artist to educate his followers about the genre of their music.
She said that it is hypocritical to dismiss the impact Afrobeat has had on the development of all musicians.
She went on to blame Nigerians for supporting artists who degrade themselves online instead of confronting the government about the country’s real issues.
Her words: “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.”
