Grammy-winning Nigerian singer, Burna Boy, has apologised over his past criticism of Afrobeats, clarifying that his controversial remarks were not intended to dismiss the genre but to define his own unique sound.

Speaking during an interview on The Official UK Afrobeats Chart Show with Eddie Kadi which started trending on Tuesday, Burna Boy explained that his previous comments stemmed from a desire to carve a niche for his Afro-fusion style rather than undermine Afrobeats.
