Burna Boy is a cultural pride. A proud representation of the power of Nigeria’s soft power. May his star continue to shine and his talent continue to find expression on the world stage. As for me and my house, this culture must take over the world!

Been getting messages from people who know i am a die hard fan of Burna Boy asking me my opinion. You know what? Let Burna be Burna, he can’t bend to be what you want him to be. Call it arrogance or whatever. He has his right to his opinion. pic.twitter.com/f1pi16Wm15

Burna sent a fan away for not dancing at his show

Burna mocked artistes for celebrating streams then later celebrated his own when it started coming

Burna claims he did it all himself without honoring the OG's

Man has mastered the act of making being corny look like confidence

This whole Burna boy thing just made me understand how the people in jesus's time must have felt when he said he's the son of God when there were prophets before him.

No one is talking about Don Jazzy , Reminisce, Olamide , No one is talking about Psquare , Dbanj , Davido , Banky W , Wizkid , Simi etc

These are the people that built the Nigerian music industry for me & have been consistent , I was stanning Burna on something else entirely .

We are forgetting how Wizkid didn't attend the BET because they give awards to artist outside the main event (10 am before the main events at the back stage)

He stood up and things changed, yet Burna Boy is saying rubbish.

Burna Boy, Your father!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
