Jamaican Dancehall artiste, Bounty Killer believes that the rising genre of Afrobeats, when compared to dancehall, “has no lyrics”.
A Jamaica Observer report states that Bounty Killer, made the comments during a viral interview with I Never Knew TV, drew the comparison between Afrobeats and dancehall.
He said dancehall’s problem is its “topics”, which are now only limited to scamming, and this the dancehall veterans said, is the reason Afrobeats is “taking over.”
“Afrobeats have no lyrics; they have a lot of melody, grove, and topic. Ye ye ye is not a lyric; it is a topic. The song only has a style, melody and topic,” the acerbic Bounty Killer said.
The Warlord weighed in on the work of Afrobeats’ artistes with whom Jamaicans are often compared, citing Burna Boy’s Ye as an example.
