Nigerian singer and entertainer, Slimcase, has sparked reactions online after sharing his thoughts on the current state of Afrobeats.
The singer, known for his energetic style and street influence, said the genre is gradually losing its excitement because artistes are releasing too many songs and albums within a short time.
In a post shared on his X (formerly Twitter) handle on Tuesday, October 8, 2025, Slimcase advised his colleagues to take breaks and prioritize quality over quantity. According to him, the overproduction of songs is affecting the originality and vibe that once made Afrobeats unique.
He wrote: “Too many songs, too many albums. Una too dey put una self for pressure for this Niger sha. Take a chill pill and be like Rihanna.
Do other things and come back give us a fresh vibe. Your sounds are getting boring cus dem be coming too much in a year. I owe dem a song this year and that’s it.”
Slimcase went on to stress that the constant flood of new releases is “gradually killing the excitement” around Afrobeats, adding that artistes are making the genre lose its spark. “It’s only God that is new every morning. Everyday, every second singles and albums dey kiii Afrobeats gradually. It’s not fun anymore,” he added.
His comments have since triggered mixed reactions from fans and music lovers. While some agreed that the oversaturation of the genre has made many songs sound alike, others argued that creativity has no limit and that consistency keeps artistes relevant.
Slimcase’s statement echoes a growing concern within the music industry that Afrobeats, despite its global success, may need more innovation and space for reinvention to stay fresh.
