The Nigerian singer Chike has clarified that his three albums do not fall under the Afrobeat genre.
Nigerian singer Chike has come out to tell fans that none of his three albums are Afrobeat. Chike’s Boo of the Booless, The Brother’s Keeper, and Son of Chike are afrobeat albums.

Via his social media, Chike said, “BooOfTheBooless🌹 is not an Afrobeats album. TheBrothersKeeper🕊 is not an Afrobeats album. My third studio album #SonOfChike☀ is not an Afrobeats album. When you hear it, you will know!”.
