When Flavour lost his father in May, Chief Priest had sent a condolence message to him. The best friend of Davido told the singer to cry no more as he stated that his father was in a better place. To comfort him, I informed him that he and others, who he described as Big Ballers, were coming to Umunze.
Flavour has no doubt come a long way. In 2022, he made headlines after reports claimed he had bagged a multi-million naira dollar deal with Amazon Prime. He received a 3 million dollar advance payment for his biopic on Amazon Prime.
In a recent interview, the Highlife singer shared some candid moments about his views on whether he can be classified as an Afrobeats artist or not. He said his genre of music is ‘African’ music, and as such, he can be categorized under Afrobeats.
The singer said the African entertainment scene needs to push forward other genres, as there was too much focus on Afrobeats. He also said that Afrobeats should just be categorized as being part of Afrobeats, as there’s so much more that Africa has to offer.
