Man that nikka don't go outside and I guarantee he's a token.wrong on all counts.. nothing militant about my post. "afrobeat being summer white girl music" is a dead ass giveaway that you don't interact with people outside the internet. Ed Sheeran running anyones summer is tragic

No disrespect to Rotimi but that sounded like some 2010 R&B with an Afrobeats beat. And that's #1? 
If I'm looking for an Afrobeats song with a R&B feel that should be #1, then I'll have to go with this:

I'd say this was the opposite of the Nas X shyt.Should the album get the Lil Nas X treatment, and boosted out that category?
Valid point. I think there is an Adult Contemporary R&B category, where some of the more traditional and older R&B artist are likely placed.
Yeah. In some ways yes.
they lumping shyt together for a reason but with the cac shyt they want to distinguish and separate.
the truth is in the intentions.

"Afrobeat takeover" tho
Afrobeat is more popular than r&b worldwide. It's only a matter of time before it overtakes r&b over here

I can't see it overtsking R&B in the U.S. for maybe 20 - 25 years, but no doubt Afrobeats is here to stay....can't think of any reason why it would become less popular. It use to be American/African American culture was being delivered to other places, but now other places cultures are influencing the U.S., I think it's Africa's moment on the music end.

Every few years this type of music gets popular and then fades away...
