Chike causes a stir after dissociating his album from the hottest African musical genre, Afrobeats.
The Nigerian musician has released two albums since he came into the limelight - Boo of The Booless and The Brothers Keeper.
His debut album did massive streams and it was well received and appraised by Nigerians.

| Chike speaks about his three albums' genre |
While preparing for the release of his third studio album titled Son of Chike, he took to Twitter to set the record straight about the genre of his projects.
The singer said the three albums do not belong to Afrobeats genre.
#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!
This claim sparked controversy on his timelines, as some people refused to agree with him.
"Well some songs are pure r&b, some are highlife, some others are afrobeats mixed with pop," a Twitter user wrote.
"Jokes aside no, he's right, I listened to the both albums till the very moment and for once none of it sounds afrobeats. I think many people have difficulty identifying which is afrobeats and which is not," another wrote.
"At least define your sound then. If it's not Afrobeats. Don't just come out and say something for the sake of it," another wrote.
This leaves us with the question, What genre does these album belong to?
