Veteran rapper Michael Ugochukwu Steven, alias Ruggedman, has stated that many “talentless people” are hiding beneath the Afrobeats flag.
He believes that the name “Afrobeats” refers to those who lack talent.
“When you ask me what Afrobeats is, I would say Afrobeats is what a lot of talentless people hide behind,” Ruggedman said in a candid interview with Chude Jideonwo.
“They said, ‘Afrobeats to the world.’ I said, ‘No. It’s some artists to the world.’ It’s not the Afrobeats [genre], it’s some artists.”
He also revealed that it is hurting when people tell him on social media that his time as an artist has passed “but what I said to myself is whoever he or she [the troll] is listening to right now is inspired by me.”
