Vanessa Mdee says she's been shortlisted for Beyonce's album but not named "I've been shortlisted. I remember a conversation was going on. I never heard of it again and do not know what happened. I am not mad that Beyoncé worked on the album, because when you think about it, for those of us who travel, the only music they know about is Afro-Beat from West Africa. ”she said.
Simba
She went on to add that since the movie was based in Kenya, she really expected an artist from East Africa to appear.
“We, in EA, are not in that category, we do Afro Pop. Generally speaking, we are all in the umbrella of ‘African Music,’ unfortunately, they do not differentiate the many genres. Think about it, the essence of Simba- a lion- is a huge East African attraction and it beats me why Beyoncé did not feature us,” she said.
