Yemi Alade voices her disapproval of artists who diminish the significance of the Afrobeat genre.
Nigerian artist Yemi Alade reprimands fellow musicians for consistently belittling Afrobeat and encourages them to proudly embrace their own genres. Through the X platform, she expressed that there's nothing amiss with artists educating their audience about their music genre.
She highlighted the hypocrisy in downplaying the impact Afrobeat has had on the development of all musicians. Furthermore, she criticized Nigerians for supporting artists as they demean themselves online instead of addressing the government regarding the country's urgent issues.
Her words: “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.
Electricity Tariff& Fuel are at a 400% increase.Naira to $ is dancing alanta.
The weather is unbearably hot. People are busy being wicked 2each other with daily increase in prices. Salaries have not been increased. Afrobeat artists are making the mess& u r picking sides instead of facing ur government.”
