Is 'Afrobeats' Too Broad? Ruggedman Challenges the Classification of Nigerian Music Legends
In a bold move that has stirred the waters of the Nigerian music industry, celebrated rapper Ruggedman (Michael Ugochukwu Stephens) has drawn a line in the sand regarding music genre classification.
The humanitarian and musician is challenging industry figures and fans on the tendency to lump foundational Nigerian artists into the contemporary Afrobeats category.
Ruggedman specifically named the unmistakable genres of Fela Kuti’s Afrobeat, King Sunny Ade’s Jùjú, and Kwam1’s Fuji, arguing that each style is unique, historically significant, and distinct from the current popular Afrobeats sound.
His position advocates for historical accuracy and a deeper respect for the diverse genres that form Nigeria's rich musical tapestry.
