‘Afrobeats going through a purge,’ Joeboy claims

Nigerian singer and song-writer Joseph Akinwale Akinfenwa-Donus, popularly known as Joeboy has spoken about the current state of Afrobeats genre of music.

While speaking during a live performance at his sold-out Valentine’s Day show in Lagos, Joeboy claimed that the genre is being purged of adulterated music.

He explained that this process is important, adding that ‘wack’ music has no place in Afrobeats music. The 28-year-old stressed his excitement for this new development.

“Afrobeats right now is going through a purge. We are getting back to the times where real music is going to stay – no more gimmicking and all of that. I can feel it already and I am happy that we are getting back to those zones where the music speaks. I thank God for that,” he expressed.
