Fela Kuti, often referred to as the “father of Afrobeat,” created a unique style of music that blended African rhythms, jazz, funk, and political commentary. His influence on Nigerian and global music is widely recognized, and his legacy is maintained by his family and fans.
Recently, a video compilation has surfaced on social media that compares some of Burna Boy’s songs with Fela Kuti’s songs, pointing out similarities in lyrics, melodies, and arrangements. The video, which has been viewed millions of times, suggests that Burna Boy has not only been inspired by Fela Kuti’s music but has also copied it verbatim in some cases.
