Everyone in this world would agree that there are some questions known as stupid questions and that's it. You are the one who is triggered when you see people correcting and reprimanding you of your errors and then you try to turn the table around and say other people are triggered just because you refuse to be accountable. These people would definitely make the same mistake again while interviewing another artist because they wouldn't do their basic google research on people before inviting them over for an interview. Americans do not know that they are slowly building the stereotype that they're dumb and do not know anything even when they know what is coming and need information just like this interview and I see this daily, they just proudly bask in their ignorance and ask questions of this sort. @@carrington2949

Non native Africans mistakenly categorize African music as Afrobeat. Afrobeat is simply a modernization of Nigeria's ancestral, native music with modern musical instruments and Western music elements, such as chord progression, complex bass line, etc. Africa is massively diverse. Other African cultures have their own genres. Afrobeat is Nigerian. Nigeria successfully popularized their music. Some Africans are happy with the success of Nigeria's music industry, and some others are embittered to the point of trying to sabotage it.

Afrobeats is African music specifically from Nigeria but not all African music is Afrobeats. All African countries have their own beautiful and unique sound! Africa isn’t one country 😮😮😮😮 so let’s stop grouping everyone together under Afrobeats or Afro music.

Whatever Bro, but it’s good it’s origins is not attributed to us , we would have killed it years ago. What happened to Azonto? even Hip Life? These are the popular ones, go to Jamestown and see the type of music they make there…Ghanaians will easily abandon theirs and go for anything foreign. We can’t say afrobeat is ours, it’s fully Nigerian and I agree 100% that we didn’t start it, even if we did what did we do with it, we obviously left it many years ago. Let’s allow our Nigerian family to shine and enjoy in peace. I’m old enough to remember that at a point in my lifetime Ghanaian music was the ish and Nigerian music was only enjoyed in their country, the only time I heard any Nigerian music at all was in their movies,then later I heard Idris Abdul Kareem’s Jaga Jaga played on TV, then a bit of style plus and p square then Tuface came around with his African girl and it opened up their industry to cross over to almost all of Africa , the rest they say is history, but before all this check Ghanaian music and artist from the late 90’s and early to mid 2000’s, dope dope artist and music… we’ve had our time, we can argue we didn’t make the best out it maybe, our friends from Nigeria have polished theirs and made it global , it’s their time now let’s allow them.

I think it’s ignorant to expect someone to know about your culture as though it is their own. Just like it was ignorant of US Americans to be upset with Tyla for identifying as coloured. It’s ignorant (and arrogant) of Tems to expect people from the US to know the etymology of Afrobeats and how to properly pronounce an African name. I’m Jamaican American and it makes sense to me when people who AREN’T West Indian / Caribbean ask me if I speak “Jamaican” versus asking if I speak patios. Or when they call ALL music, “Jamaican music” and don’t know there’s reggae, soca, calypso, etc and not all of it originates from or is produced by Jamaicans. WHY would they know? They’re NOT Jamaican, or of West Indian/Caribbean descent! It makes a lot of sense for them to NOT know that Afrobeats originated in Nigeria or is “for” Nigerians, when in present time people from other West African countries produce Afrobeats and it’s widely listened to by ALL Africans and West Indians/Caribbeans. It’s not their culture to “know”. So she should’ve just taught them instead of being snooty about it…

@pizzeo Күн бұрын

I know your comment is 3 months old and I agree with you to an extent. BUT she was talking to DJ Envy and as a DJ he should know where afrobeats comes from. ESPECIALLY if he's playing it which I'm sure he is. I'm a DJ myself and we are music selectors and curators for crowds of all kinds. It's our job to know about music and he's a DJ playing urban music (which includes afrobeats) with a nationally syndicated radio show. Most modern urban DJ's play afrobeats because it is more danceable than hip hop nowadays. And most of us love Fela Kuti the Nigerian artist that originated Afro beat which later became Afrobeats in it's modern interpretation. The rhythm is essentially the same with the focus on the snare on the upbeat. It's a little bit of a 1+1 = 2 if you know a little bit about modern music, but ESPECIALLY if you call yourself a DJ. Envy is just notorious for being ignorant about a lot of subjects, not just music.
