From Kenya and here in East Africa we love Naija Music 😊
I ❤❤❤❤❤ AFRO BEAT SONGS #THE MOTHER LAND TO THE WORLD 🌎 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Africa Is The Future. I Am Proud Of How Afrobeats Is Doing Right Now.
Not if endemic corruption, lack of adequate infrastructure, and increasingly difficult ability to feed a continent with a booming population isn't rectified.

Well done 👍✅ good work
Interesting. Thanks. 🎉
Igbos got the credit for pushing african entertainment to Africa continent and from there it went global to digital....started from Aba Abia state to Alaba international market lagos Nigeria , we believe in african project
Kenny's music and the diaspora in London made Afrobeats
You cannot single out a tribe in the success of afrobeats pls, don't be parochial. The alaba guys did it as a business because it was profitable but what about the content creators and those who took the music to the UK and US giving it much publicity. Let's give it to Kennis Music and Mohits records.
You be mumu oh, you nor no,
Common, common, receive sense. Must you bring tribe to everything
Afrobeat is Nigerian music genre. Its not Aftican music.
Burna Boy all the way❤
I'm still coming don't forget
Black sharif great
afrobeats is not African music; it's Nigerian music.
One of Nigerian musics
And Nigeria is in china right?
@@Jabou1 american music. Do you call it american continent music
@@ochiegodfrey6428 lol there are a bunch of different types of Afrobeat in Africa, do your research about afrobeat in Africa in general. And yes, I know that Nigeria and Ghana are more popular in the afrobeat genre, but there’re a lots of version of afrobeat music!!
It started in Ghana, don't be ungrateful
Blaaaaaaacko!
I’m here for Blacko I’m here for Africa and I’m here for Ghana 🇬🇭
Oya make we rest na
Yeah...just stay with ur Ghana ....and as we are staying our Nigeria pls don't come and spew your jealousy and bile here
@@GagzicoolYou don't have to say this.
@@rotimikayode1072I used to love Ghana but recently I read their comments and I’m appalled and realize Nigeria has many African enemies because God is favoring us always.
@@Royalbloodline1990why won’t you have enemies when you take a sound that is not yours, benefit from it and not give credit to those you got It from and to add insult to injury you try to erase that very country from it by saying AfrobeatS came from Nigeria. No Ghanaian is hating or jealous of Nigeria artists success in AfrobeatS but give credit when credit is due. If I’m wrong then tell me what AfrobeatS consist of?
It is afrobeat not afrobeats
Afro beats is nothing more than dancehall and hip hop put together by Africans in there language
True
Funny the country that started it ( Ghana 🇬🇭 ) isn’t mentioned or given credit at all and correction fuse odg was the one that made AfrobeatS popular in london by promoting the azonto sound, Ghanaians are very happy for Nigerian artist but give credit where credit is due
How did Ghana start it?
No.mind am.
Ghana na HIGH LIFE, and Nigeria na AFRO BEAT dating back to the '60s by the one and only FELA RANSOM KUTI..
High Life has been dead and gone for decades even though the late Rex Lawson (Nigeria) was the one one popularised it, more than anyone else in Ghana.
So, there.
Ghana started afrobeats?....Be deceiving yourself. Mad people everywhere 🙄 😒
@@idrisahmadu5699 😂 wow some Nigerians are amazing oo can tell you fake history and pass it on like they know what they are talking about, Nigerians keep talking about AfrobeatS is a Nigerian invention ( not Afrobeat even tho Afrobeat is not yours either ) but today’s AfrobeatS if it’s true that Nigeria invented it answer one simple question what does AfrobeatS consist of?
@@NnamdiAnekwe thieves you guys have piggybacked off Ghanaians and instead just saying we got this sound from Ghana your pride won’t let you do it talking about fela 😂 , the family themselves has already said today’s AfrobeatS has nothing to with what fela was playing back then even that sound that fela played he got Ghana as well but again to much pride to admit it.
Burner boy can’t sell a record
Proudly Nigerian 🇳🇬💪💪💪
