Tems has clarified that she considers herself an R&B and alternative Afro-soul artist, not an Afrobeats singer.

She criti-cized the media for using “Afrobeats” as a blanket label for African artists, arguing that music should be classified by its actual sound rather than the artist’s nationality.

She also highlighted her R&B influences, including Celine Dion, and her intentional pursuit of soul and R&B.

WOW 😮❤️‼️

Fast-rising Nigerian singer Fola has fulfilled one of his mother’s biggest dreams after surprising her with a brand-new car. 🚘❤️

According to Fola, he once asked his mother what she wanted, and she told him she wanted her own church building and a specific car. Now, through his success, he has been able to fulfill both dreams.

Fola 🗣️: “When things started to align, I randomly asked my mother what she wanted, and she said she wanted her own church building and this specific car. I thank God for keeping this running long enough for me to say I’ve done both things.”

May we all live long enough to fulfill our mothers’ dreams, give them everything they deserve, and make them proud through our success. 🙏🏿❤️

Amen! 🙏🏿

hakira • Rihanna • Beyonce • Taylor Swift 👑🎤

Four icons. Four different sounds. One question:

💔 🤦‍♂️No one !

Poco Lee is friends with EVERYONE in the industry, but since he got arrested, have you noticed something?

NO ONE has made a post about him. Not even one. 🤐

It’s a gentle reminder that you can chill, eat, drink, laugh and party with people, but when trouble comes knocking, you may discover that you’re standing alone.

You see this life? Be careful. Never get too comfortable just because you know a lot of people. True loyalty isn’t tested during the good times — it is revealed when everything falls apart.

Remember how many people stayed silent when it was Diddy? Sometimes, silence can speak volumes, but we should also be careful not to mistake silence for proof of guilt.

Moral lesson: Build your life on character, not connections. Have friends, but never make people your security. Because when the storm comes, the crowd you thought would stand beside you may suddenly disappear.

At the end of the day, your name, your character and the choices you make will speak louder than the number of celebrities in your contact list. 💯

😮‼️ Wizkid & Tems are no longer Afrobeats artists?

Wizkid said in 2024 that he doesn’t consider himself an Afrobeats artist, while Tems has also said her music goes beyond the genre.

Yet, neither has clearly defined their original genres. 👀

Many see this as a rejection of African culture, hoping they’ll clarify their stance and inspire the next generation.
