💡 Why does this matter to Africa?
✔ Beyoncé has been a key figure in bringing African music into mainstream global entertainment.
✔ Past projects have featured artists like Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Shatta Wale.
✔ If this tour includes African stops, it could boost Africa’s live music economy and tourism.
💬 Should more global superstars engage with African audiences, or is Africa still being used as a musical aesthetic rather than an equal creative partner?
