He said:
I don’t think it’s that deep…. I kind of feel that they have kind of been looking for a term to generalize this beautiful music coming out of Africa because they are a lot. Like awards or streaming platforms it’s going to be hard to start putting all the genres…. To just simplify it some people just decided to classify every beat coming out of Africa should be afrobeats.
He explains that we must be patient and feel included in a phenomenon known as afrobeats, citing the fact that it is easier to put the various African sounds on the map as Afrobeats rather than breaking it down and then the moment people love the afrobeats it becomes easy to introduce the subcategories such as Afro-fusion and so on under it.
