Veteran Fuji musician Remi Aluko has said that Afrobeats artists, including Burna Boy, are stealing from the Fuji genre.
Aluko claims that elements such as chorus patterns and stage performances have been appropriated from Fuji music by Afrobeats artists.
In a recent interview, Aluko expressed his belief that Afrobeats artists are aware of this appropriation. He specifically pointed out Burna Boy’s unique stage presence, attributing it to inspiration drawn from Fuji music.
“They stole a lot of things from Fuji music. Part of Afrobeats song chorus is from Fuji music. Burna Boy for instance, his stage performance is totally unique because it’s inspired by fuji.”
