In this episode of #ATTWSpace, we break down the Fat Joe vs BNXN situation, giving context to the viral clash. After Fat Joe claimed on a podcast that he influenced BNXN’s name change from Buju and suggested Afrobeats has Jamaican roots, BNXN fired back, calling out the comments and defending both his rebrand and African music culture. We also touch on GoodGirl LA’s VMF exit, the Qing Madi and Jton Music situation, and the reality of foreign labels targeting African artists. We also get into new music, from Fola’s “Fine Ting” to Bella Shmurda’s “Ara” with Olamide and more.
