Talent manager Paulo Okoye has expressed his concerns about the current state of Afrobeats, stating that the genre is facing a decline.

Paulo emphasized that this is a factual observation, and he can count on one hand the number of Afrobeats artists who are thriving financially.
He also highlighted that the situation is not only affecting the global reach of Afrobeats but also its local presence, with a significant lack of financial opportunities.
He wrote:
“Afrobeats is going through a lot lately!! Every Afrobeat artist was doing way better 3 years ago compared to today!!
Only a few are making money at the moment, and that’s a fact!!
can count on my one hand the Afrobeat artists who are making money Now!!
Globally things are falling apart for Afrobeats.
Locally, it’s even worse: no money anywhere.
Our bright stars will continue to shine and the world will continue to recognize our greatness.
Afrobeat is going through a lot lately”.
