Nigerian Actress, Uche Jombo has called out popular American Media platform, New York Post for implying that Beyonce`s collaboration with Burna Boy made Afrobeat go international.
The foreign publication published an article about Burna Boy who just dropped a new album Twice As Tall with the headline: “Beyoncé-endorsed Burna Boy makes Afrobeat go international.” The headline didn’t go well with a number of Nigerians and they took to Twitter to point out that Burna Boy was already an international artiste before working with Beyonce. The headline made it seem like Beyonce`s endorsement is what made the Nigerian singer and his craft go international.
Uche reacted to the post saying: I love Beyonce as the next person but you are wrong with this ..Beyonce-endorsed Burna Boy “makes” a whole AFROBEAT go international, such a think piece let down by the headline. Do better.
