American talk show host Steve Harvey has defended Nigerian Grammy winner Burna Boy against accusations of stealing from American music genres.

Harvey asserted that it is actually the West, particularly America, that draws inspiration from African beats, rhythm, and soul, as exemplified by Burna Boy and other African artists.

Harvey shared this insight while participating as a panelist on a television program, underscoring the unity between Africans and Black Americans.

He expressed, “They talk about ‘Burna Boy stole this’, no, we stole from Burna Boy. Them Africans are us. Africans embody the beats, soul, rhythm, and hard work. We derive our courage from them. When you see those people, they resemble your own family.”

Recall, Mp3bullet reported that Burna Boy has solidified his position as one of the world’s most prominent musicians, aiming to reshape the global perception of African music.

In a recent interview with Vincent Desmond for the Financial Times, Burna Boy shared his vision behind the international appeal of his music. With four nominations at the 66th Grammy Awards, Burna Boy made history as the first Nigerian lead artist nominated outside of the global category and the inaugural African artist to perform at the main ceremony.

Broderick Stephen Harvey Sr., also known as Steve Harvey, has spoken out about how the Western culture steals from Africans such as Burna Boy.

The 66-year-old media magnate who broadcasts well-known programmes including the Steve Harvey Morning Show, Family Feud, Celebrity Family Feud, Family Feud Africa, and others claimed in a viral video that Africa continues to be the source of all other blacks in the globe.

Harvey claims that there is a lot of disinformation about Africa and that the only way the rest of the world, particularly black Americans, can learn the truth is by travelling to the continent and experiencing it for themselves.

In the aforementioned video, Steve Harvey emphasised mineral-rich states like Ghana, Botswana, and South Africa as the ideal nations to travel to in order to learn more about the continent.

Speaking about Grammy-winning Nigerian artist Burna Boy, Harvey made it very obvious that the claim that the singer “stole” from Americans is false and that the truth is entirely different.

Harvey, who must have been addressing the misinformation of Americans claiming to have inspired the buzzing Afrobeats, of which Burna Boy is a poster boy, made it known that Africans are the beat, rhythm, and soul, going on to assert that Americans had borrowed all of these characteristics from Africa.
