Why Afrobeats will never die – 2Face

Nigerian music legend, Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Face, has expressed confidence in the future of Afrobeats, allaying fears that the genre might be heading to relegation on the global stage.

Speaking in a recent interview with Yaw on Wazobia FM Lagos, the African Queen crooner argued that contrary to some negative predictions, Afrobeats won’t fall off the global stage.

He noted that the endless pool of young talents in the country ensures continuity, noting that young artists are the lifeblood of Afrobeats.

2Face said, “Afrobeats can never die. If you listen to some of the young Afrobeats artists now, you will agree with me that the genre is in safe hands.

“Recently, one of the young artists, Fola, remade my song ‘If Love Is A Crime.’ I really loved it. Soft, smooth vocals. It is amazing. The present crops of artists have special flows. I love their styles.”

NPFL: Imama downplays Enyimba clash, sets sights on continental ticket

Abia Warriors technical adviser Imama Amapakabo has said he is not entirely focused on the Abia Derby with Enyimba.

The Umu Chineke will face their local rivals at the Enyimba International Stadium, Aba, in a matchday 31 encounter on Sunday.

Imama is unperturbed about the buzz on the derby.

“It’s just the hype of spectators and expectations of everyone,” the former Nigeria international told the club’s official media.

Abia Warriors currently sit in fourth position on the NPFL table.

The Umuahia club are targeting a place on the continent for the second consecutive season.

Imama declared that they will keep fighting hard to achieve their objective.

“It’s not just about this game to me, it’s about the next seven games. We have 21 points to play for, and we’ll play with everything we have,” added the gaffer.
