Popular Nigerian singer Joeboy has stated that Afrobeats is currently experiencing a renaissance, stressing that the genre is being cleansed of watered-down music.

Speaking midway into his performance at his sold-out Valentine’s Day show in Lagos, the ‘Faji’ crooner explained that Afrobeats was returning to “real music.”

He added that “wack music no longer have a place in the genre.

“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.

Recall that at the beginning of the 2020s decade, the Nigerian music industry saw a heavy fusion of Afrobeats with other genres, especially South Africa’s Amapiano, American hip-hop and R&B.

This led to critics calling for a return to “original Afrobeats”, claiming that the fusion of foreign genres, often intended to cater for a global audience, has diluted Afrobeats.

The situation started changing in 2024 when some Nigerians artists began making “real Afrobeats” again and stopped infusing too much of Amapiano in their sounds.

Many Nigerian music buffs have hailed this as a move in the right direction, even though they admitted that it would take some time for Afrobeats to fully recover its original rhythm.

Popular Nigerian singer, Joeboy has advised people to be mindful of the unrealistic standards often presented on social media.

By sharing these words of wisdom, the ”Alcohol” crooner aims to remind his fans that the curated and often manipulated content on social media does not always reflect reality.

He encourages Nigerians to maintain a critical perspective and not compare their lives to the seemingly perfect images and stories presented online.

He wrote: “Better don’t let social media define your standards, people lie, a lot.”

Joseph Akinfenwa Donus, the famous Nigerian singer, who is popularly known as Joeboy, has said he is open to marrying his current girlfriend.

He described his current relationship as “pure intense helpless love”.

Speaking in the latest episode of Madame Joyce’s ‘Cocktails & Takeaways’ podcast, Joeboy said he believes in love and marriage.

He said, “My current relationship is like pure, intense helpless love.

“The person I am with now, I can be with her for life. If I don’t see myself being with somebody for life, I’m not going to be in a committed relationship. I would rather let’s just be seeing ourselves but no commitment.”

DAILY POST recalls that Joeboy disclosed in an interview last year that he spent roughly N50 million on his current girlfriend within two years.

He said he was not sure about the figure, adding that it could be far more than that.

He also said he prefers to keep the identity of his girlfriend hidden to protect his private life from social media scrutiny.
