Popular Nigerian singer Joeboy has stated that Afrobeats is experiencing a fresh revival, noting that the sound is gradually filtering out watered-down and inauthentic records.
While addressing fans midway through his sold-out Valentine’s Day concert in Lagos, the ‘Faji’ hitmaker said Afrobeats is finding its way back to what he described as “real music.”
He added that “wack music no longer have a place in the genre.”
“Afrobeats right now is going through a purge. We are getting back to the times where real music is going to stay – no more gimmicking and all of that.
“I can feel it already and I am happy that we are getting back to those zones where the music speaks. I thank God for that,” he expressed.
