There is no denying that the Afrobeats wave has caught on well with music lovers the world over.
In a recent interview with Sarkodie and Stonebwoy on France 24, he intimated that Afrobeats has taken over and is being enjoyed by people from different parts of the world.
“I think if it stayed in Africa, that would have been just an African thing. And now everybody wants to join it. Whether you like it or not, Afrobeats is the new cool – that is the song that turns the club up,” he noted.
“I think anything successful is definitely gonna have people want to come and join it so I’m definitely up for it. As he said, I think we just have to make sure we don’t have to lose the core of what the music stands for so we don’t lose the value of what the Afrobeats stands for,” he added.
Thanking God he was part of the generation that projected the Afrobeats agenda, Sarkodie added that he knew this was going to happen, even though he did not know when.
This comes on the back of most streaming platforms categorising all music from Africa as Afrobeats; the latest of which is the introduction of Billboard’s US Afrobeats Chart.
