Nigerian DJ , Nonso Temisan Ajufo, popularly known as DJ Big N, spoken up about the state of the afrobeats genre of music, claiming its at its lowest.

While speaking with Echo Room, Big N stated that the genre has been diluted by artists and producers in a bid to appeal to international audience.

He also claimed that the genre is currently at the worst state it has ever been in for the past 20 years.

“Afrobeats right now is at its worst position in the last 20 years. And everyone from musicians to music executives have a part to be blamed. The quality of music dropped. You have to understand that the quality of the product is important in every way. Also, the originality of the music dropped. Always understand that whatever you want to export has to be original, first and foremost. If you tried to export something else, it’s only a matter of time before you stopped getting demands. You can’t sell foreign genres to foreign audiences. We have to embrace our originality,” he explained.
