Nigerian singer Ruger has claimed that his Grammy-winning colleague, Burna Boy introduced the live band into Afrobeats performance.
According to him, before Burna Boy started using live band, most Afrobeats artistes perform with DJ sets on stage.
He argued that Burna Boy made live performance “enjoyable.”
Speaking in a recent chat with Billboard alongside BNXN, Ruger said: “Before Burna Boy started this live band thing most Afrobeats Act would just go on stage with their DJs and bounce, Burna boy makes live performance enjoyable.
“I don’t care if they give Burna Boy his flowers or not, but we the youngins from Nigeria know what he has done.”
