    Afrobeats music has increasingly influenced Western pop music. Afrobeats stems from various African musical styles and gained international popularity through improved technology. Many famous Western musicians like Rihanna, Ariana Grande, and Drake have incorporated Afrobeats rhythms and sounds into their music. Major Lazer's song "Run Up" and Drake's "One Dance" are examples of Western songs influenced by Afrobeats percussion and slower four-on-the-floor rhythms. This incorporation of Afrobeats into Western pop has led to the emergence of an African-inspired musical style that blends heavy bass and African percussion.
