Ed Sheeran Sparks Debate Over Band Aid's Legacy and Bob Geldof's Defense

Ed Sheeran and Fuse ODG have criticized the new version of the charity song "Do They Know It's Christmas?" for perpetuating negative stereotypes about Africa. They argue that such portrayals hinder Africa's economic growth and dignity. Residents of Kibera, Nairobi, express mixed feelings, acknowledging the song's fundraising intent but disapproving of its portrayal of Africa as helpless. They call for music that highlights Africa's strengths and achievements rather than focusing solely on its struggles.
