In other news on The Official UK Afrobeats Chart Show with Eddie Kadi, Burna Boy addressed backlash over his past criticism of Afrobeats, where he had claimed the genre “lacks substance.”
He offered a public apology and clarified that his statement came from a place of limited understanding at the time.
“With the knowledge I have now, I wouldn’t have made that statement. I didn’t know that Afrobeats was more of an umbrella term to help push Nigerian music as a collective,” Burna explained.
