I Am Glad People Think I Am New In The Music Industry – Burna Boy

Afrobeats superstar, Damini Ogulu popularly known as Burna Boy has said that he is not bothered about the misconception of being new in the music industry, despite releasing his debut album a decade ago.

Naija News recalls that Davido, last month, created a debate online after stating that Burna Boy belonged to the new cats group in the industry.

He grouped Burna Boy with singers such as Rema, Asake, and Fireboy DML.

However, in a recent chat with Apple Music’s Ebro, Burna Boy said it is a good thing some people think he is new in the industry, stressing that it makes him feel younger and want to do more.

He said, “It is a good thing that people think my movement is new. I love that. Because it keeps me young. It means like, I can do so much more, you know. It stretches my life span.

“I’m living longer than I thought I would than I even planned to, you know.”

The ‘Last Last’ crooner said he has always known that he would be great.

Burna Boy added that he does all kinds of music because he is “trying to make the world understand that music is bigger than a genre. I feel blessed that I can do different genres. It would have been a waste if I had restricted myself to a genre.”
