Afrobeats & Activism: Are Nigerian Fans demanding too much?

Recently, Nigeria witnessed a mass protest over economic hardship and the high cost of living. Amidst the protest, which quickly gained momentum on social media, some fans demanded that musicians speak up about the economic difficulties facing the larger population.

Burna Boy, who has a love-hate relationship with Nigerians, quickly became the focus of this conversation with some people demanding that he speak up in support of the protest that resurrected the ghost of the 2020 EndSARS protest.
