Grammy-winning Nigerian singer, Damini Ogulu, aka Burna Boy, has claimed that he pioneered a new genre of music called afrofusion because he did not want to be boxed into the popular West African genre, afrobeats.
In an interview with American media outlet, Complex, the self-styled “African Giant” said he does not believe in genres.
Burna Boy said, “Afrofusion is a big melting pot of cultures and sounds. Afrofusion is not a box.
“Let me break it down, why I created afro-fusion is because I didn’t want to be boxed into any afrobeats or hip-hop or anything. Because I don’t believe in genres. I had to create my own.”
Recall that Burna Boy recently asserted that afrobeats is “literally nothing” and lacks lyrical substance.
