“Afrobeats is the new pop. I sold two million copies in America off of one song! Even some American artists don’t have a diamond record. If I’m being honest, I don’t listen to any other genre of music anymore,” He said.
Nneka Adams it will be recalled, recently applauded Nigerian musical talent, Tems for her Grammy awards nominations; a feat Nneka believes she didn’t earn by releasing sex tapes. Her post got a lot of people talking, as not a few assumed she was stylishly throwing shades at Tiwa Savage.
