Nigeria afrobeat singer Phillip Kayode popularly known as Pheelz has expressed support for the Afrobeats tag which he calls the spirit of the Nigerian people.
While appearing on the Afrobeats Podcast, Pheelz shared his thoughts on the situation of artists choosing to disassociate with the Afrobeats tag.
According to the hitmaker, Afrobeats is a movement fuelled by the spirit of Nigerian and African people.
He shared that while some artists have the right to either choose to associate or disassociate with the movement, he identifies with the movement and will gladly wave its flag.
“For me, I feel like it’s a tag for how we make our music. It’s a form of identifying what we do and where we are from. To some degree, it’s a form of collective decision by we Africans or Nigerians or the culture that let us move with this. So I choose to respect that collective decision and be part of that consciousness and boldly and proudly wave this flag.”
