Afro-Fusion star singer, Burna Boy made known his view about the common use of Afrobeat in Nigeria. During an interview on Radar Radio, the singer negates popular opinion about afro-beat when he said, only FELA does Afrobeat.

The term ‘Afrobeat’ is a commonly used term in the current Nigerian music scene.

According to Dennis Peter, a Nigerian music journalist in his article about music activism in Afrobeat, stated that “Afrobeats simply lumps every contemporary genre of music being made in Africa into a giant blob.”
