I want to take Afrobeat to another level
According to him, the motivation for the project is to take Afrobeat to countries where the genre has not fully penetrated. "I am on a mission to take Afrobeat to the world. Davido, Wizkid and Burna Boy have done greatly in putting the genre on the global map. But mine is a step further in ensuring Afrobeat is present in every part of the world. In some of these countries whose artistes were featured, Afrobeat never penetrated them. Beyond personal gain, it is about setting records and uplifting our beloved sound," Nelly B said. Born Oke Nureni Abiodun, Nelly B singer hailed from lsuada, Owo Ondo state Nigeria. He is one of the promising acts taking the Afrobeat tune to a different audience by building on what the trio of Davido, Burna Boy and Wizkid has done.
