She said, “I first heard about it during the Grammy week. I was super excited. No, I didn’t cry. I would probably cry during my first performance on the tour when I see everybody. Chris Brown has been a fan of African music for a long time. He has been very supportive. He has always been supporting the culture and it is really beautiful to see. It is exciting to see African music get recognized globally. It has been a long time coming. African music has been popping. African music has been doing it in Africa. Actually, Afrobeats has always been the best genre in the world”.
