In other news, Flavour recently made headlines by declaring that he does not identify as an Afrobeats artist.
This statement was made during an interview on the Afrobeats podcast hosted by Adesope Shopsdoo on Instagram.
Flavour’s unexpected admission has sparked interest and debate among music enthusiasts. When asked about his thoughts on the dominance of Afrobeats artists like Davido, Wizkid, and Burna Boy, Flavour took the opportunity to clarify his genre, explaining that his music represents a unique brand of African music that shouldn’t be confined to the Afrobeats label.
The singer, known for his captivating live performances and hit songs like “Ada Ada” and “Game Changer (Dike),” emphasized the diversity of African music.
He pointed out that successful artists from other regions, such as Fally Ipupa from the Democratic Republic of Congo and Diamond Platnumz from Tanzania, also represent different styles that are distinct from Afrobeats.
