Nigerian singer BNXN has fired back at American rapper Fat Joe over his recent remarks about the origin of Afrobeats.
Fat Joe had sparked controversy during a podcast appearance where he claimed that Afrobeats originated from Jamaica. He also alleged that BNXN was forced to change his former stage name, Buju, because of Jamaican dancehall star Buju Banton.
Reacting on his X (formerly Twitter) page on Thursday, BNXN criticised the rapper and urged him to better understand African music and its roots.
He wrote, “The hate in your heart and your misinformation about African music and its artists is why your chromosomes are all f**ked up.
“Educate yourself bozo @fatjoe.”
