Why I created afro-fusion genre – Burna Boy

Burna Boy, a Grammy-winning singer from Nigeria, claims that he invented the afrofusion musical subgenre because he didn’t want to be limited to the well-known afrobeats subgenre.

The self-described “African Giant” claimed he does not believe in genres in an interview with American media outlet Complex.

Burna Boy said, “Afrofusion is a big melting pot of cultures and sounds. Afrofusion is not a box.

“Let me break it down, why I created afro-fusion is because I didn’t want to be boxed into any afrobeats or hip-hop or anything. Because I don’t believe in genres. I had to create my own.”

Recall that Burna Boy recently asserted that afrobeats is “literally nothing” and lacks lyrical substance.
