What Ruggedman said about Afrobeats

Nigerian rapper Michael Ugochukwu Stephens, also known as Ruggedman, has claimed that the Afrobeats label may soon go out of style.

While speaking on Rubbin Minds at Channels Television, Ruggedman expressed his excitement for the new level Nigerian music has gotten to.

He, however claimed that most afrobeats artist don’t make music with great quality anymore.

“I just have a feeling that this whole Afrobeats thing, the tag might end soon. Nigerian music is in the forefront and I’m happy it is Nigerian music. The only change that I don’t fancy much is the quality of the music. And not too many of them are giving me what I really respect. Unfortunately, rap has kind of taken a backseat, because people want to do something that gives them money quickly. Not too many people are doing rap, and it costs more to push and promote rap than Afrobeats”, he said.
