In other news, Ace Nigerian singer, Chinedu Okoli, popularly known as Flavour, has distanced himself from the Afrobeats genre.

Appearing on a recent episode of the ‘Afrobeats Podcast’ hosted by Shopsydoo, Flavour explained that he is not bothered about not being credited for the global rise of Nigeria’s Afrobeats genre because he is not an Afrobeats artiste.

Flavour stated that he deserves recognition for his contribution to African music but that is not coming because the media promotes only Afrobeats as a genre from Africa
