Burna Boy didn’t steal from American music – Steve Harvey

American television host and filmmaker, Steve Harvey has
said contrary to Western sentiments, Burna Boy and other African artists didn’t
steal from American music.

He said instead it was the West, especially America, who are
inspired by African beats, rhythm, and soul.

“People claim Burna Boy stole this, no we stole from Burna
Boy. Africans are the beats, soul, rhythm, and hard work that inspire our
courage,” the comedian said in a recent episode of his television show.

Burna Boy had in an interview with Apple Music last year
clarified that he doesn’t do the popular West African music, Afrobeats but
Afrofusion which he said was a fusion of American hip-hop, R&B, soul,
Jamaican reggae and dancehall, and African music elements.
