“Afrobeats is Nigerian music. Our guys are top 10, but the quality of the music could be dropping because more people want to get in,” he said.
“Back in the day, hit songs were serious music, but now almost anyone can come in. Most of the hit songs in Nigeria now are not very good music. It didn’t used to be like this. Because we’ve been number one for so long, it seems everyone is just dropping whatever they like and backing it with money.”
