Grammy award-winning Nigerian singer, Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, has shed light on the persistent notion that Nigerians harbor animosity towards him within the music industry. Despite his repeated claims of being disliked, Burna Boy, in a post on his X handle, offered an explanation.
In a track titled ‘Thank You’ from his recent album, “I Told Them,” Burna Boy subtly hinted at the lack of appreciation from Nigerians despite his contributions that bring pride to the country.
He shared a photo of himself on Saturday, and wrote, “Hated by my inferiors for having no superiors.”
On a different note, Kittitian dancehall artiste, Byron Messia, expressed his excitement about collaborating with Burna Boy on the remix of his song ‘Talibans.’ During a conversation on the Bootleg Kev podcast, Messia praised Burna Boy’s extraordinary talent, describing it as “insane.”
He highlighted Burna Boy’s unique creative process, emphasizing that he crafts verses through freestyling, bypassing traditional writing methods.
Messia shared insights into the collaborative studio session. In his words, he said, “Burna did his verse on the song, ‘Talibans II’ in my presence. The session was fun and exciting. Burna murdered that remix. The way he came up with that verse, mehn, this man is talented, gifted like out of the world, crazy, insane like insanely talented. He didn’t even write his verse. He didn’t stand in the studio boot for an hour. It was a crazy moment.”
