In a recent statement, Nigerian music sensation Davido has spoken out about how his music style should be accurately classified.
The artist expressed that his music should be labeled as “Afrofusion,” rather than the commonly used term “Afrobeats.”
Davido is known for his unique blend of sounds and influences, which he believes fall more under the Afrofusion category. He highlighted the frustration of artists like himself who often get lumped into the Afrobeats category, despite having diverse musical styles that vary from R&B to rap.
The term Afrobeat, which was popularized by the legendary Fela Kuti, has become a general label for African music, overlooking the nuances and diversity within the continent’s musical landscape.
Davido’s clarification sheds light on the importance of accurately representing and respecting the different musical genres and styles that artists bring to the table. The artist’s insistence on being categorized as Afrofusion emphasizes the need for precision and recognition in the music industry.
