Afrobeats, according to Grammy Award-winning musician Burna Boy, is "nothing" and has no substance.

The artist asserts that 90% of Afrobeats songs are devoid of real-life experiences and just depict a great time, which is not what life is all about.

This was stated by the self-styled African Giant in a recent interview on Apple Music.

Not even experience, as 90% of them, or half of them, lack any relevant real-world knowledge.

The majority of African music, or Afrobeats as you call it, as well as most Nigerian music, is about nothing at all. It's just a good time; there isn't any substance to it; nobody is talking about anything. However, life is not a fantastic experience overall.

His claim has now elicited a variety of responses on social media, some of which support him and others of which criticize him for being conceited.
