There Are A Lot Of Talentless People In Afrobeats – Ruggedman

Ruggedman, a well-known Nigerian rapper, has expressed the opinion that “talentless people” are hiding behind the Afrobeats musical genre.

The rapper and campaigner said this in a conversation with media personality Jude Jideonwo, according to Naija News.

Afrobeats, according to him, is only for singers that fit a certain mold and are not talented.

He said, “When you ask me what Afrobeats is, I would say Afrobeats is what a lot of talentless people hide behind.

“They said, ‘Afrobeats to the world.’ I said, ‘No. It’s some artists to the world.’ It’s not the Afrobeats [genre], it’s some artists.”

He also revealed that it hurts when people tell him on social media that his time as an artist has passed, “but what I said to myself is whoever he or she [the troll] is listening to right now is inspired by me.”
