I'm Nigerian living in the US. And I can say black American have a rich culture which all races and tribes have borrowed from, especially in entertainment. Culture, by definition, is a way of life of a group of people . Burna boy is not dressing as Nigerian but a black American. He is the one who needs education .
@@mbumwaeiluya8680that’s not the point! So you can go on with your disrespectful and dismissive comment!!! If that’s the case we can stereotype Nigerian culture a lot!
I am a 3rd west African(Nigeria) but raised as African American. My father always told me we were from Africa. I’ve always felt a strong connection, can’t wait to visit.
I’m Nigerian and I can say vividly enough that the whole Nigerian music and swag wouldn’t have happened without the African American culture. Nigeria in the early 80’s had FM2 Lagos, NTA Channel 5, LTV 8 and host of other stations airing Soul Train by Don Cornelius, and later 620 Soul Train by Jeffrey Daniel and lots of musical shows so many artists from rap to hip hop to R&B etc. It was around mid to late 80’s that we had Mike Okri, Ras Kimono, Ortiz Wiliki, Majek Fashek, Blacky, Funmi Adams, Mustapha Amigo etc not forgetting the Break Dance era of the 80’s and every Nigerian dressed like American. Black Beat, Ebony, Jets magazine etc influenced Naija music and swag. The 90’s was the era of new jack swing, the Babyface, Black Streets BBD, Bobby Brown and many others. Burna Boy go back and study Nigerians music the swag, dress etc copied African American till we were able to create our own fusion of music. You are not an expert on African American culture and before talking people’s culture one has to live, mingle with the people from East to West Coast.
@@seflinokasonde9150 true! Some of them are also kind of “racists” or antagonistic towards Caribbean! But will gladly take our culture when it’s convenient for them!
How are clothes “culture”? Culture is literally Beliefs and WHO IS YOUR GOD. That’s culture. Instead mugs let Caucasian thieves call them “black” or “African Americans”, and accept the “culture” and beliefs that are Corporately designed.🤦🏾♂️

As a Nigerian and a fan, I’d say Burna missed an opportunity for reprieve because he did elude to AAs not having a culture. All he needed to do was either expand on what he meant back then or speak in retrospect on an intellectually dense statement that was made and apologize for it.
“Black Americans” don’t have any culture. We have had everything stopped from us. We have no idea where we originate so our customs have been diluted and transformed significantly. “Black” people living in other nations by force have the same issue but they have but their ancestors were able to keep many of the customs that originated from their home due to colonizers keeping their eyes on the prize which was and still is America.
@@IkesLionsDen I saw the original clip that he was referring to. He said that we didn't know our culture or where we come from. It's documented that we've been here in America centuries before slavery and even after, we made our culture. We see other people capitalize and mimic us daily
It’s about opportunity… ya have opportunities… there’s still a whole section of Africa that has gotten that yet…..humility is coming though… and ya are emulating a lot more than you know… just wait …. Ya don’t get the last word
@@rsn7847Asia has Japanese and Korean men getting dreads and rapping and wearing durags lol. European boys use Black American slang and listen to rap music religiously. European women are getting lip fillers and changing their bodies to emulate naturally curvy African American women
The problem with all American culture, regardless of race, is that once it becomes mainstream commerce, it's no longer organic culture. People are justing buying into an identity at that point.

Even outside of fashion and music. Look at the different communities. Gullah Geechee, Black Cowboys, Creole cultures in different parts of the south etc. It seems the world needs to learn more about us not the other way around.
I'm South African 🇿🇦 and i think African Americans do have a culture, its just that the world has emulated and exploited it so much, people now refer to it as "Pop Culture". It has literally influenced the whole world and still does till this day.
You wouldn't believe how many ppl don't understand this concept. We had a very distinct culture until white America commercialized it and claimed all of it - food, music, clothes, dialect as "pop."
Black American are not from African there were there thousand of years before these sailors discovered it .. They were indigenous to the Americas.. same in the Caribbean please stop saying that they are Africans Americans...Stop it !!!
@@ryanrichbees2514 is there any proof to corroborate the things you saying ? Not only the Atlantic Slave Trade, but global slavery is well documented.

I'm all for freedom of speech, but you at least need to fact check and clarify the statements you make.
I am Black American. Our culture influences the world. Everyone takes some snippets of our culture and incorporates it into their lives. WE BLACK AMERICANS ARE THEEEE CULTURE. PERIOD. ✊🏾💪🏾🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🔥🔥🔥
Every society has its own culture. The black American Culture actually influenced us Africans to act the way we act even to this day. It’s the most influential culture.
did you actually listen, he means black Americans seek too much attention from the whites, but market in africa with no proper education on culture. So he's trying to build a bridge to let them know more and to feel more African, See it this way, some blacks say their not black Americans but Americans and always fighting for a right that is hardly given. Name one black American that made a name without a white man behind them, Obama?, Jay Z?, Martin Luther king Jr?. If Africa was all glory and independent in gold and america was inferior, I bet y'all will run back to Africa and dump the American citizenship. Y'all after the American dream and sadly many Africans too. If you're a black man, then you're African, take it or leave it.

"Culture" IS NOT MUSIC. "Culture" IS A LIFESTYLE Wearing the racist YT fashion designers clothes does not mean it's YOUR culture, it means we pay THEM to clothe us. Black Americans, like Nas always said its time to wake up! ✊️
Culture is Music it’s literally things that’s signify a group of people Art is apart of it as well as style of dressing it not really the brand but the way in which it’s used more or less
@Nazim909 Culture is not music. You don't hear YT people calling country music or rock thier culture. They understand thier culture to be found in the history of Europe, not thier music. Same thing with Arabs and Asians. They don't attribute music to thier culture. Culture is based in generational history.

Just like what Krs one said about the comment he said, “whoever said puerto ricans and jamaica did not help to create hip hop is stupid for saying that.”
This is the problem Black Americans have always had with other ethnicities using our Hip Hop culture for cool points. But dismissing our influence once they blow up 🤦🏾
@@sjalusi1That’s the dumbest logic. I can already tell you’re an African. How can you say African Americans took European fashion when we are AMERICAN.

Even with using European clothing, African Americans still styled it to make their own fashion trends.

I feel like if you’re not black, you shouldn’t be commenting on this because you have no idea what the hell you’re talking about Black people in America don’t have any culture most of them can’t even tell you where they came from or their actual nationality what people steal from us is style and fashion not culture
@@Jasmin-rn6vxwhat are y’all even talking bout seriously. Like if you really want to have a conversation or look up some things as far as what African Americans have contributed society at large , from educational value , buying power ( that’s all the capitalist care about ) , the BEAUTY of the plight of people who been thru something even more devastating then genoicide, CAN STILL DANCE AND HAVE THEIRE SPIRIT. Let me say this I don’t know a lot about this but I do know African American ancestors before they were slaves and even during that heinous time THEY DANCED EVEN THO THEY WAS SUFFERING. all these jokes about black peoples liking chicken comes from PEOPLE HAVING TO ADAPT TO ALL THEY HAD. I really get sad when I think about how being IGNORANT + APATHY mixed together breeds a very interesting POV : twerking , wigs and weaves , ghetto , too masculine for a woman , black boys are seen as men before they become a man. Trying to boil down a whole culture itself is NUANCED. All these words I wrote all I’m trying to say is yes African American have culture , sadly I HAVE HEARD THIS STATEMENT ALOT FROM AFRICANS THEN I EVER HEARD FROM LETS SAY “ the us usual suspects “white liberals “ or racist people. IT HITS HARD BECAUSE ALOT OF US HAVE HEARD THIS BEFORE TO THAT AFRICANS THINK AFRICAN AMERICANS ARE DIFFERENT, THAT THEY HAVE MORALS ETC AS IF AFRICAN AMERICANS DONT. I KNOW THERES IS ALWAYS MORE THAN ONE PERSPECTIVE BUT IF ANYONE IS TALKING BOUT UNITY , HOW THE HELL CAN U SPEAK UP SEPARATION IN THE FIRST PLACE. Makes me sad a lot of people not only see the beauty and even the uglyness within the African American culture , BUT THEY ALSO DISREGARD every POSTIVE aspect of culture and use it as they please. Imagine cashing in on a culture u don’t understand or care to or criticize but the very reason ur successful besides your hard work is THE FACT U WAS ABLE TO APPEAL TO THE AFRICAN AMERICAN MASSES WITH THE VERY THING THAT IS CULUTALLY Tied To African Americans. Sorry for this long paragraph
@@Jasmin-rn6vxSo sorry you don’t know what Black American culture is, I do apologize to say all representatives are busy and no one is here to educate you.
You know he lowkey playing around with it he knows black culture rules however I guess he said that because he wants to see our reaction to that question
@@astralmindny9055 I'm not sure of your race but because you said "Carribean ppl don't like us" I'm going to assume you're African American 😆 It's very strange to me because the reason they don't like black americans seems to be because of hood and hiphop culture which you can find all over the world, in every colour and form. They act like you make them look bad but they have their own ghetto culture and Black americans have different cultures for literally every state. There are even 100 versions of black excellence to choose from
He actually answered the question by putting the blame on the people that didn't like what he said. Trying to bring us together? No dude, you're tearing us down.
Black Americans fought for everyone to have a voice. No other group went through so much to exist. I was not born here but I know the history. Folks need to do their homework.
That’s the problem you were so inviting letting everybody into our culture now they got the nerve to say we don’t have any bullshit! It’s time to start gatekeeping our shit.
Well ironically, African culture influenced African American culture, which influenced modern African culture. At the end of the day, the credit goes back to the ancestors who we all have in common 🤷🏾♀️
@@jd3413 you sound dumb as hell rn because Africa and especially the Caribbean have several races not just African. For starters Indians and Hispanics are all over the Caribbean. Africa also has a lot of Indians. Have you been to Mauritius ? An African island with a massive Indian population. You ever visited Trinidad or Guyana? Both have massive Indian populations. In fact Indians make up the largest ethnic group (40%) in Guyana and Indians are the second largest ethnic group (35%) in Trinidad. DR, PR, and Cuba are all Hispanic. There is Caribbean culture, there is African culture, and there is African American culture. What you’re considering black culture actually belongs to both black and brown people. Don’t make this about skin color because several races practice and uphold Caribbean culture.

@AffectionateCardGame-kx1lk , Thank you. Over 90% of America's original music genres were created by African Americans. Music such as Gospel, Ragtime, Blues, Jazz, Country, Boogie Woogie, Rock&Roll, Soul, R&B, Funk, Rap, Hip Hop and Trap music. Our inventions and medical discoveries are used all over the world every day. And our athletes are second to none.
Because a lot of white money was invested in that. Because American media is the highest export. Give it a few years, now African, Indian, Korean, etc media are going global and ppl will copy that too. It's all marketing
@ AyandaMa-je6dq In other words- you can’t name ONE global influence from your own nationality. I mean, aside from your ancestors selling ours into chattel slavery.
The tether couldn't answer the question directly. A person who claims Black Americans don't have a culture, while wearing Hip Hop styled apparel, which is a part of Black culture, is a hypocrite.
I wouldn’t associate half of his attire with Hip-hop, it’s a chain and a designer outfit with a bucket hat lol. Nothing about that screams black Americans
Right...because before the creation of hip hop prople were just casually running around in baggy clothing, timbs, bucket hats and chains. 🙄 I really wonder what's behind the attempt to play down the fact that AAs have a distinct style that has been borrowed and copied globally.
Except none of those clothes he's wearing were "invented" by Black Americans. Timberlands were a White working class shoe until hip hop artistes started wearing them. At what point are you going to say "people borrow from us the same way we borrow from others?'
Without black Americans you don’t have rock, pop, hip hop, r&b, blues, country, and the list goes on. So yeah. I think there’s definitely a cultural influence that black Americans have on entertainment. Y’all gotta remember black folk have been here almost as long as Europeans have. Burna Brain should read a book sometime.
@jermaineyoung1214, you north Americans distinguish yourselves, but as a non American, when I see aspects of black American culture, I view it simply as part of American culture overall. Am I mistaken? I genuinely don't know. If black American culture does indeed exist, does white American culture also exist? And if it does, what are some examples?

Afrobeats isn’t hip hop. It’s it’s own genre mixed with African elemnts like Fuji, African beats/talking drums, and borrows from diasporans. Nigerians own their music.
For context, Burna boy is probably the most heavily African-American influenced Afrobeats musician. He is so sensitive about this question because he gets this criticism from Nigeria as well...even early in his career it was clear and people called it out. It’s common to borrow from America obviously, but he does it the most. He also takes a lot from reggae and Jamaican culture. He’s like the most watered down Afrobeats artist. He is like a Drake equivalent… suitable for the masses.

I’m Nigerian and I can say vividly enough that the whole Nigerian music and swag wouldn’t have happened without the African American culture. Nigeria in the early 80’s had FM2 Lagos, NTA Channel 5, LTV 8 and host of other stations airing Soul Train by Don Cornelius, and later 620 Soul Train by Jeffrey Daniel and lots of musical shows so many artists from rap to hip hop to R&B etc. It was around mid to late 80’s that we had Mike Okri, Ras Kimono, Ortiz Wiliki, Majek Fashek, Blacky, Funmi Adams, Mustapha Amigo etc not forgetting the Break Dance era of the 80’s and every Nigerian dressed like American. Black Beat, Ebony, Jets magazine etc influenced Naija music and swag. The 90’s was the era of new jack swing, the Babyface, Black Streets BBD, Bobby Brown and many others. Burna Boy go back and study Nigerians music the swag, dress etc copied African American till we were able to create our own fusion of music. You are not an expert on African American culture and before talking people’s culture one has to live, mingle with the people from East to West Coast.

Hip hop is world wide now matter of fact the reason this dude is mainstream is because of hip hop.his swag the way he carries himself there is hip hop writing all over him.
Y’all stupid. Who designed most of the stuff hip hop uses? Hip hop samples are from were? Timberland was designed by who? Y’all just come here ignorant
It’s not a culture
@@tecumseh4095yes it is. you’re not educated
That’s not culture babes n I’m black American
Hip hop is very toxic, nothing to be proud of
I was starting to play a Burna Boy song, then this popped up. I never knew he felt this way, but I’m glad it was brought to light
He’s benefiting directly from Black American culture. Hip Hop is Black American culture because there are so many facets to it.
Is his music hip hop or Afro beats?..
the people he called really stupid, your comment puts you in that category.
You live under a rock or too stupid while many people where influential to hip hop much credit is given to kool Herc a Jamaican immigrant who was the first major hip hop disc jockey also credit Africa bambaataa an Grandmaster Flash the three were also known as the holy trinity !
Afrobeats isn’t hip hop. It’s it’s own genre mixed with African elemnts like Fuji, African beats/talking drums, and borrows from diasporans. Nigerians own their music.
For context, Burna boy is probably the most heavily African-American influenced Afrobeats musician. He is so sensitive about this question because he gets this criticism from Nigeria as well...even early in his career it was clear and people called it out. It’s common to borrow from America obviously, but he does it the most. He also takes a lot from reggae and Jamaican culture. He’s like the most watered down Afrobeats artist. He is like a Drake equivalent… suitable for the masses.

He's already unimportant. His hype fizzled out. I don't think he's ever wrote a song in his life. It's all samples of other people's music.

Black Americans have *_the most culture_* 💯
It also happens to be the most emulated culture around the 🌎‼️

@@Bisekoson exactly 💯
Black Americans have no culture.
As an African, just by my name, someone can know the country, province and village am from. We have mother tongues, histories, foods and own habits that define our culture.
When I look at Black Americans I don’t see any of this. They have random names as the rest of US and UK
@@Bisekoson the way we take the English language and make are own words our lifestyle our swag all of it is hiphop/ our culture
@@kyngpapi so thats a culture?? You speak English, and you call it culture? I've never read anywhere which says swag is the culture.
Be careful of feeding divisive 'energy'...Burna speaks the Truth.
Every nationality has a culture. If you ask Burna Boy to define culture bet he wouldn’t know.
@@sacoope1 That's whole point. In order to have a culture you have to have a nationality which culture stems from. Black nor African American is a nationality those are illegal misnomers placed on the indigenous people..

If he did say black Americans don’t have culture he is crazy the way most people dress as far as fashion and street wear is all black american culture. The whole world bites off Black American culture. How he dress is Black American culture. The haircuts/hairstyles that people use today is black American culture. Matter of fact everything that people consider cool is black American culture
Really?
@@marcusakinbiYes really. Afrobeats is nothing but Africans copying Americans and Jamaicans. They are being CHARACTERS of iconic Black people. There is no African icon.
The rappers are Americans
The legends are Jamaicans from Reggae to Dancehall that he and everyone else in "Afrobeat" rips off of. It's a fact not an opinion or assertion. The world KNOWS Jay-Z, 2Pac, Bob Marley, Beenie Man, Sizzla, etc.
There is NO AFRICAN POP CULTURE ICON. The closest thing to that would be BurnaBoy who only copied American and Jamaican stars. So he has no business talking shxt about Americans or anyone else's culture.

@@IfI-o9g OH yeah! My uncle went to Africa last year, visiting many countries there. He said it was unbelievable how Africans try so hard to emulate Black American culture. I personally don't have a problem with it, we're all brothers and sisters under the sun. My issue is the blatant disrespect. They always have something negative to say about us but when they come here, they become tethers to us and if they become world famous, it's from our culture, not theirs. It's unfortunate but we may need to start gatekeeping with them as well because it's getting ridiculous at this point....

Facts they're too ashamed to represent anything from. Their culture because they know they'll get clowned. We don't wear flip flops with soccer polos and dusty jeans screaming for Red Cross rice 😂
Mad educated answer 😅
We may not have our original culture, but we have a newfound culture that the entire world seems to try and emulate.
That is like saying the US is not a true country. We have our original culture because we built it with the circumstances surrounding us.
You have your culture and its original. What you call "original culture" is an almagamation of various people from West and Central Africa who were not culturally united at the beginning anyway . The interactions between these people in the Americas is part of what contributed to your current "culture" so it’s not "lost" either.
