Burna Boy Vents About Nigerians Not Seeing Him As Equal To American Artists

Afrobeats phenomenon Damini Ogulu, also known as Burna Boy, expressed his anger with many Nigerians’ continuous doubt about his global musical popularity when compared to American artists. The artist, known for his distinct style and impactful tunes, bemoaned his countrymen’s tendency to undervalue his accomplishments, frequently placing him beneath new American rappers.

Burna Boy confessed that his unorthodox musical style has earned him widespread disdain in his own country, claiming that his sound has led many Nigerians to mistrust the feasibility of an artist like him rising beyond American peers.

Burna Boy has declared that his new album, suitably named “I Told Them…”, will be a direct rebuttal to the naysayers and opponents who have attempted to belittle his successes throughout his career. In other developments, Burna Boy is getting backlash from critics after a video showing him slowly driving his Rolls Royce through Lagos’ crowded streets went viral.

The music star has returned to the country after an extensive tour abroad, and it’s clear that he’s enjoying every minute of his time here. The self-proclaimed “African Giant” complained how Nigerians frequently place up-and-coming American rappers ahead of him.

Burna Boy stated that American songs used to dominate the playlists of Nigerian media outlets, but that has changed due to the explosion of afrobeats.
