Singer, Augustine Miles Kelechi, popularly known as Tekno, has sparked controversy after claiming that the late music maestro, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti was not the originator of Afrobeats, as widely believed.
Speaking in a recent interview with Hot 97 FM in New York, Tekno argued that there are many music legends, such as Oliver De Coque, who also contributed to the evolution of Afrobeats as much as Fela did.
He claimed that Fela took “all the credits” because he was more travelled and “opportune.”
He explained that Fela was a legend who contributed immensely to the genre, but that others also deserved some credit.
