Lerin Nicodemus Calls Burna Boy “Biggest Fraud” for Denouncing Afrobeats (Video)

Nigerian TV presenter Lerin Nicodemus has called out Grammy-winning singer Burna Boy, accusing him of being a “fraud” for denouncing Afrobeats after using it to achieve success.

Nicodemus made the comments in a video on her YouTube channel, in which she reacted to Burna Boy’s recent interview with The Guardian, in which he said that Afrobeats music lacks substance.

Nicodemus said that Burna Boy was a hypocrite for adopting Afrobeats in order to succeed on the global stage, only to denounce the genre after he achieved success. She also accused him of being a bully who belittles people at every opportunity.

“Burna Boy is the biggest fraud and most uninspiring artiste in Nigeria,” Nicodemus said. “His entire brand is built on Fela’s Pan Africanism, but when there is a social activity, he either keeps quiet or mocks the people.”

Nicodemus’ comments have been met with mixed reactions on social media. Some people have agreed with her, while others have defended Burna Boy, saying that he is entitled to his opinion.

The debate over Burna Boy’s comments is likely to continue for some time. However, it is clear that Nicodemus’ comments have struck a chord with many people, and they have sparked a discussion about the future of Afrobeats.
