People that are less aware easily jump with the white man's categorization of African music as Afrobeat; much like they conveniently refer to the whole continent of Africa as one country. Burna Boy's quite correct not to fall into this nonsensical trap like other mumu Nigerian artistes. He's also right to term it Afrofusion cos it's a mix of African music with several other recognizable world beats, mainly pop.

The white man didnt name the music Afrobeats,Fela named his music Afrobeats to differentiate his music from other africans sounds

African music comes in different sound also african music also borrows from other countries sound.

inbetween, burna boy isnt the first to call his type of music afro fusion,davido did too in 2016
http://www.pulse.ng/buzz/davido-i-dont-do-afrobeat-i-do-afro-fusion-singer-talks-on-beats-1-radio-id5312293.html

but Afro Fusion is the fusion of African dance fundamentals with different dance genres such as hip hop, house, latin and jazz.

the problem is, it is difficult to categorise the present commercial Nigeria artist,afro fusion is mostly about dance not sound

cos I stated the obvious fact doesn't mean I like davido.. Stop talking bulsheit.

Nigerians love listening to crap, and he is smart enough to give them the crap. Why is that so hard to get into your head?
If he was smart enough he would change the music industry into an industry of "Good music" not add more crappy music

You're wrong. Arrests take you to jail, sentencing takes you to prison. Prison and jail are different but are often used interchangeably by people. I never mentioned prison in my post, I talked about jail which everyone read about here on nairaland on Burna issue.

He was declared wanted for months. He turned himself in after a while and it was in the news. There was no news of his release and those of his accomplices. That was why I asked. It depends on the gravity of the offence, in Nigeria people spend many weeks in jail without trial.
