Burna Boy is communicating something that is drowned in the emotional outbursts of his audience. His self-congratulatory chest beating is being misunderstood, big time, as drum of war. Consequently, he is fast being loathed by fellow Nigerians for exhibiting the typical Nigerian bullish attitude, which people from other African countries always complain about. What an irony!

Burna Boy is, rightly, saying that he is where he is today is because he worked hard with his talent, cooked up good songs and persisted out there with the support of his family. It is not because of somebody else's hard work. It is not because of Tuface, Psquare, Wizkid, Davido, etc. The truth is that if he didn't sound unique with good songs, he wouldn't have achieved success as an African singer. Tuface, Wizkid, Davido, etc. followed their paths and made personal accomplishments but they didn't HAND-HOLD Burna Boy to the world stage at any time.

Now, this is how Wall Street Journal captured Burna Boy's success story in the title of its detailed report on his rise to fame: "A Nigerian Pop Star Finds Success in the U.S., On His Own Terms." (https://www.wsj.com/articles/a-nigerian-pop-star-finds-success-in-the-u-s-on-his-own-terms-11572884659) The keyword here is ON HIS OWN TERMS. There can't be a better compliment for his UNIQUE style coming from an authoritative publication highly regarded all over the world.

Every peacock is attractive because of unique colours of its plummage and not because of another peacock's colours. Every peacock is entitled to flaunt its colours. The fact that Burna Boy said he is the best thing that has happened, musically, after FELA is nothing but brand flaunting. Though he is bullish about it but it does not stop other artistes from blowing their own their trumpets, which they all do on reaching specific milestones on their career journeys.

The truth is that we all have our destinies to fulfil. Unless a serious derailment occurred, once the time comes for destiny fulfilment, several factors will combine well. Think about Burna Boy's YE crossing the path of Kanye West's YE at the right time. You see! What is written has been written. Simple. Like Angelique Kidjo who went from little Benin Republic to the world on her own terms, Burna Boy is making his marks.

Burna Boy will not be on the top forever. He is inevitably going to be labelled a LEGEND at some point and overlooked for gigs in favour of younger artistes. But for now, he has the stage. He should enjoy the spotlight.
