On a more sour note, Burna Boy has been facing some backlash over his recent comments about Afrobeats. During an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, the singer shared some of his thoughts about the lack of substance involved in Afrobeats. Burna Boy claims that many of the artists lack real “life experience.” In his opinion, the genre has become about “nothing.” He also believes they have "almost no real-life experiences.”
