Why Sampling Old Songs is Both Fun and Risky in Afrobeats Singers

Many Nigerian artists like Burna Boy, Ayra Starr, and Wizkid have made cover versions of several old songs. Which is nice if you are thinking of nostalgia and the throwback. Take for instance Burna Boy’s Last Last — it was purely in Pidgin English, and you somewhat had to listen closer to hear Toni Braxton’s He Wasn’t Man Enough for me. We got the vibe. Then came Ayra Starr, who almost five sampled songs in her discography, including Sare (2021) samples Lijadu Sisters’ Orere Elejigbo, Sability (2023) interpolates Awilo Longomba’s Coupé Bibamba, and Gimme Dat (2025) samples Mary J. Blige and Wyclef Jean’s 911. Although Afrobeats singers add a personal touch and that Afrobeats vibe to the songs they sample, it is worth asking: do Afrobeats top acts need to sample older songs so much W...

The Sistas circle may be in for another shake-up as Novi Brown, who plays Sabrina in Tyler Perry’s Sistas, confirms she is leaving the Tyler Perry show after playing the role for 9 years. Since Tyler Perry’s Sistas Season 10 premiered and introduced two new cast members replacing the OGs — Ebony Obsidian’s Karen Mott and Novi Brown’s Sabrina — fans have been up in arms, wondering if the shift is permanent or just a temporary change to introduce new cast members and give others more screen time.
