"Afrobeats is meant for dancing and not great lyrics. You can be a lyricist if you want but this is not Hip Hop where you have to be a lyricist for your music to sound that good” Tems "Afrobeats in Nigeria is specifically for escapism, dancing and vibe just like RnB is for love and heartbreaks. We can’t all make the same type of music. It's specifically made for that purpose. Afrobeats is meant to bring you alive and make you forget about your worries and enjoy. The climate of Nigeria doesn't call for lyricists but it calls for music with good vibes. Nigerians love that music because we're already suffering and our music is one of the few things that makes us happy and the world has come to love Afrobeats the way it is. And we can't change the purpose of afrobeats because of prëssure” — Nigerian singer Tems revealed in an interview We are a chosen.

“Tyla is a plant. The people who set the stage for Tyla to benefit from Afrobeats and win Afrobeats awards will do the same thing again, it won’t be the last time.” Joe Budden American podcaster Joe Budden discloses that 12-year-old South African singer Tyla is an industry plant. He made this revelation days after Tyla won the “Best Afrobeats” award at the just-concluded 2024 VMAs. He says Tyla will always win even if she's nominated 50 times alongside Davido, Burna Boy, Wizkid and Rema cuz she's an industry plant.

Wow 9ice finally replies "I have watched Gen Z disrespect me online several times by comparing me to some random artistes which were not in my league in my prime. In my time, when the industry was still trying to carve a niche in the world space with a unique style of sound which we now all refer to as Afrobeats, there was lots of CONFUSION and COMPETITION. Confusion in the sense that, there was a massive rush to break in with every unique artistry and originality. I mean, the cool cats from Ajegunle like Daddy Showkey, African China, Marvelous Benji and a host of many others with the "Suo" thing. The three kings which I personally refer to as Wazobia; 2face Idibia from the North, P-Square from the East and D'banj from the West, The Yankee boiz like Ikechukwu and Naeto C who came in with the United States mulla to show us the local boiz how to do it in a premium way hehehe. These young cats have no idea what it means to drag a market space with the Wazobia Kings in an era of no social media exposure where hitting a platinum was through hard copy and Gongo Aso was like a pure water all over the streets of Lagos and Nigeria. And the competition in the sense that, in my time there were three household labels who provided the huge platform for independent local artists like me, I am talking of Kennis Music, Mo'Hits records and Storms records, much respect to Keke and D1... Legends! Now imagine a local boy like me from the streets of Bariga, not affiliated to any of the then major record labels, with cooked beats from I.D Cabasa in a local studio(as we weren't financially loaded then to buy the best studio equipment) disturbing your airwaves in the year 2008. I made you happy and brought you so much Joy that I grabbed the artist of the year awards from Headies, Best album of the year, Best street pop of the year and Best love song of the year with Wedding Day in Gongo Aso album all in a Night with Headies. See, music is like the game of football, you can be the baba on the pitch but we know who runs the game on award nights. I watched myself being compared to some young cats with no originality, who haven't bagged any award in their choice of niche. I left music for politics and that created a huge space. I have not brought home the Grammy as promised but I have trekked for you to run and I am happy for where the foundation we laid is currently at right now. Like I said in my song Photocopy, there will never be another me because I am 9ice. Show some respect ❤️" -9ice 2024 #everyonefollowingrichmindsrichminds #everyonehighlightsfollowers #highlightseveryone #everyoneactivefollowers #everyonehighlights #fypシ゚

“I have never charged an African artist for a feature, but I’ve paid everyone I have ever worked with. In my house in Lagos, I have over 200 people living with me, and I pay them monthly salaries. My dad taught me that wealth is truly measured by how much you give to others. There are places I’ve been to, and some countries I was given visas to, just because I said my dad is Mr. Adeleke. That’s because my dad once did something that helped the interviewer or an influential person in that country, and they decided to return the favor to me. There are places your good deeds will take you that money never will, and good connections are the greatest kind of wealth a person can ever have. That slogan, ‘We rise by lifting others,’ is not something I came up with. My father taught me that, and I’m practicing it so my own children can benefit from my good deeds.” —Davido in an interview ‼️ There will always be a difference between a wealthy person and a rich person. Ask them questions about their saving habits, their time management, and what they think about charity. Their answers will automatically tell you the difference. “Charity is always part of every successful person’s wealth creation journey.” ~ Music Base Africa (C) Afrobeat Ville III“I have never charged an African artist for a feature, but I’ve paid everyone I have ever worked with.

Nigerian singer Omah Lay was recently on Billboard News, where he spoke about his upcoming album and why it is unique. During his interview, Omah Lay opened up about being the origin of Afro-depression as a genre. A fan reacted to the singer's interview: "Afrobeats died when Rema blew up in 2019. The entry barrier went too low."
