“Afrobeat can never die, maybe in Nigeria, but in America, there are over 40 to 50 bands; in New York alone there are over 20 bands; it exists in Japan, Australia, San Francisco and other parts of the world.
“So when you think that afrobeat is dying in Nigeria, in other parts of the world, it is becoming bigger and more popular. It does not matter where it originated from, we are all from the same planet, and I am not going to get caught in the foolishness of being a Nigerian,” he charged.
