Speaking in a recent interview with Yaw on Wazobia FM Lagos, the African Queen crooner argued that contrary to some negative predictions, Afrobeats won’t fall off the global stage.
He noted that the endless pool of young talents in the country ensures continuity, noting that young artists are the lifeblood of Afrobeats.
2Face said, “Afrobeats can never die. If you listen to some of the young Afrobeats artists now, you will agree with me that the genre is in safe hands.
