Ajebo Hustlers, a Nigerian musical group, have defended Grammy-winning musician Burna Boy‘s controversial claim that the afrobeats genre lacks lyrical “substance.”
Burna Boy claimed that 90% of Nigerian musicians produce songs with little substance in a recent interview with Apple songs’s Zane Lowe.
Ajebo Hustlers responded via their Twitter account, claiming that Burna Boy was spot on.
Ajebo Hustlers tweeted: “Be mad at Burna all you want!! Still don’t change the fact that half y’all favs make music with no substance. Tbh [to be honest] that’s absolutely fair cause this is entertainment at the end of the day. But he’s saying the bitter truth.”
