Nigerian singer Ruger is crediting fellow musician Burna Boy with revolutionizing Afrobeats performances by introducing live bands. In a recent interview with Billboard, Ruger argued that before Burna Boy, most Afrobeats artists relied solely on DJs during live shows.
"Before Burna Boy started this live band thing," Ruger said, "most Afrobeats acts would just go on stage with their DJs and bounce." He emphasizes Burna Boy's impact, stating, "Burna Boy makes live performance enjoyable."
