Why Are All African Artists Caged Under Afrobeats?

Welcome to unfilteredrealissuestalk! For our very first video, we are tackling a massive conversation in the music world: Why are almost all African artists being boxed into the "Afrobeats" label? From global executives and streaming algorithms to media narratives, every African genre—whether it's Highlife, Amapiano, Alte, or African Hip Hop—is often lumped under one umbrella. Is this global categorization helping African music grow, or is it secretly caging artists and erasing musical diversity? Let's break down the business, the culture, and the real impact behind the global Afrobeats label. Drop your thoughts in the comments, do you think the "Afrobeats" tag is a blessing or a cage?
