The genre of Afrobeats emerged in mid-2000s and the late 1990s. The launch of MTV Base Africa in 2005 allowed artists from West Africa a worldwide audience. Artists such as MI Abaga and Fuse ODG took advantage of this newfound exposure. In the early days, many Afrobeats artists were taking inspiration from R&B and hip-hop, but the early pioneers of the style, such as Fuse ODG, were creating music that was their own and blend modern western influences with traditional tunes. This trend was delayed by the language barrier, but the growing interest in the genre meant that some artists are now trying to make it their own.
