Nigerian highlife singer Chinedu Okoli, popularly known as Flavour, has agreed with Jamaican reggae icon Buju Banton that afrobeats music lacks depth.

DAILY POST recalls that Banton sparked controversy after claiming in an interview that Afrobeats music is “f*ckery.”

He claimed that Afrobeats had no substance and would fade with time.

Reacting in a recent episode of the ‘In My Opinion’ podcast, Flavour said Banton was on point.

According to him, Afrobeats lacks depth because its artists are lazy.

“I understand what Buju Banton is trying to say. Kids of today [present crop of afrobeats artists] don’t want stress; they just want to vibe,” he lamented.

“Maybe Buju Banton is trying to awaken our spirit.”

Meanwhile, Flavour has distanced himself from the afrobeats genre.

He clarified that he’s a high-life artist and not an afrobeats artist.

He faulted the boxing of every African artist under the afrobeats genre in Western media.
