Downplaying Afrobeats’ Role Is Hypocritical – Yemi Alade Fumes At Colleagues

Yemi Alade Fumes At Colleagues Downplaying Afrobeats | Fab.ng

Nigerian singer Yemi Alade is upset with some of her fellow musicians who downplay Afrobeats. She recently posted on social media that they shouldn’t downplay Afrobeats in interviews. She thinks it’s hypocritical because Afrobeats helped all of them develop as artists.

Yemi Alade says if these musicians don’t feel like Afrobeats represents their music anymore, that’s fine, but they should just say so and move on. She’s also critical of Nigerians in general for focusing on musicians who put themselves down online instead of holding the government accountable for recent problems in the country.

Yemi wrote,

“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.”

She added,

“Electricity Tariff & Fuel are at a 400% increase. Naira to $ is dancing alanta. The weather is unbearably hot. People are busy being wicked to 2each other with daily increases in prices. Salaries have not been increased. Afrobeat artists are making the mess & you’re picking sides instead of facing your government.”

In the past few weeks, some Nigerian musicians have been saying they don’t want to be associated with Afrobeats anymore. They argue that the term Afrobeats was created by people from outside of Africa and is just a way to limit the kind of music African artists can make.
