On Wednesday, the former world's richest man, Bill Gates, expressed how excited his youngest daughter Phoebe was for him to visit Nigeria and meet Afrobeat stars Burna Boy and Rema.
Gates said in his speech:
"When my daughter Phoebe heard I was coming to Nigeria, she said, "You're lucky because you get to see Burna Boy and Rema, so I had to look them up…because I'm so 'hip'. But I remember the last time I was here, I got to see Davido & Wizkid perform. Of course, being here in Nigeria, I can’t help but mention the amazing creativity that goes on here. Afrobeats from Nigeria are popular everywhere."
Gates added that he had to look up Burna Boy and Rema “because I’m so hip,” which generated laughs from the audience of young students and innovators.
“But I also remember, the last time I was here, I did get to see Davido and Wizkid perform and I was quite impressed with that. So, my kids think I’ve come to a very hip place,” he said
