Fuse ODG Speaks on BBC Visionary and Global Afrobeat star Fuse ODG was recently featured on BBC. In his interview, he shared his belief that Africans must reject tired narratives portraying them as inferior. “New African Nation is not the Africa, the media shows on television because the western media likes to portray us as poverty-stricken with flies around our mouth. New Africa Nation is a whole new nation with a new mentality where we tell our stories which is success, great fashion, great food and great dance,” shares Fuse ODG. |
