Former BMG Signee, Kelvyn Boy has disclosed that Afrobeat has taken over the world to an extent that when some rappers here in Ghana go outside Ghana, they refer to themselves as Afrobeats Artistes.

According to him, these artistes knowing Afrobeats is the brand that sells abroad, so try to cash in. In an interview with Jay Foley on Joy prime TV, Kelvyn Boy said,

“I know a lot of big artistes who are rappers but when they go out of Ghana they say they do Afrobeats or Afro Dancehall. I’ve heard Sarkodie say he is an Afrobeats artiste outside Ghana,”
