I see your point. My issue is his arrogance outweighs his talent. If guys like 2baba, 9ice, KizzDaniel, Tekno, FlavorNabania etc. can be humble who da Bleep is burna? I have listened to all his songs - and he does not have more than 6 songs in his whole life that you can even consider 'good.' And please don't compare him to Chike, Asa or Brymo. Please that is an insult to REAL talent. Burna no reach that level at all at all.

The difference between him and wizkid is that wizkid actually knows how to deliver songs that Nigerians like. Burna does not. That is the fact.
Lol...you’re speaking from a point of anger, but that’s okay. Talking of the songs in his whole life, as if you’ve listened to them cheesy

I know Nigerians who hate Burna Boy far more than you do. Even they agree that his music is top notch. His talent is so massive that it outweighs his already massive ”arrogance”.
Despite how terrible you think his music is, his fan base keeps growing both home and away despite the “arrogance” that chokes Nigerians so much.
Like I said, Burna Boy will be fine....he will be very very fine.

Guy calm down. I am not a Burna hater but a truth teller. Only two kinds of people I despise in this life - liars and fake people. Please do not lie and do not be fake when you are having a discussion with me. Please tell us what is burna singing that we have not heard before? All his 'best' songs are Fela's songs 'repackaged.' Am I lying? People who say burna is talented are not wrong. But talented with respect to who? Fela? 2baba? Kizzdaniel? Tekno? burna no fit compete talent-wise with any of these guys. And you will never hear any of these guys make any noise on social media. My point is the guy makes too much noise for his level of talent. Flavor, who gets no recognition from music media, is far more talented than burna boy. Have you ever seen Flavor on social media gossiping like a wayward woman the way this idiot burna does? Be honest and stop pretending like you don't know what I am talking about.

You dey mind Nigerians and their stupid love for false humility?
They want him to act as if he didn't write the songs on his own...
when he was still underrated and said he'd win the Grammy, it was just insults that Nigerians had for him...
when African Giant lost at the Grammy's, His fellow Nigerians were celebrating...why?...because he's going to be proud.
It has now become a taboo for one to be proud of his own work?
Now he's finally won and these idiot.s want to tell him how to celebrate his own win.

He said he did it on his own and that is exactly what happened. To helll with all you haters. You can all choke on your worthless opinions.
Sorry o, why u com carry another man matter for head like dis? Abeg focus on ur own strength & potentials, forget about person wey no even know say u dey exist.

TBH burna boy did it on his own,
It was his hard work, persistent and talent that got him to be nominated and even when he lost out, he came back even stronger the following year despite nay-sayers predicted he won't be near a nomination list after his loss to Angelique kidjo.
With All that said, despite his Grammy win,. Tuface Idibia still remains my undisputed GOAT in the afrobeats/pop genre..
Special mentions to psquare, Wizkid, & D'banj..

Nobody does it on their own. It's always a team work.

The guy is a fool. He is not even that popular in Nigeria. Instead of him to use the grammy win to build his Nigerian fan base he is running his mouth like faulty faucet. When guys like 2baba, 9ice, Flavor etc. can anchor concerts in retirement this guy will be lucky to fill a primary school assembly. He needs to get to work. His latest songs are not palatable to Nigerians, that's a fact.

The thing that pain me most is that more talented and humble guys like 2baba, 9ice and Flavor did not win grammy but this half-baked performer who is extremely noisy/arrogant wins it. Life no get balance.

Which of these sound like anything you’ve heard before?
Which one of these sound anything like Fela? In fact, you should start listing all his songs that sound like Fela songs, because this cap is too much.
If you know you don’t listen to his music, just say that, instead of coming here to say he sounds like other people. You can’t be someone who listens to Burna Boy and say that...never.

Just listing these songs made me realize how talented Burna Boy is. I don’t need to say anything more at this point. Go on thinking anything you want to think.

"I'll never forget how so many of you prayed that I don't win" - Burnaboy

My kids will confidently beat their chest and say “Daddy did it on his OWN, We can do it on our own” - Burnaboy


Nigerian singer, Burnaboy who won his first Grammy on Sunday night, March 14, for the Best Global Music Album, revealed that he did it on his own, IgbereTV reports.

He said that his kids will beat their chest some day and say, 'Daddy did it on his own. He also said he'll never forget how people prayed for him not to win.

Nobody does it alone , Grammy or not.
Burna should be magnanimous in victory.

Winning a Grammy is politics in the US.
Because, there are too many great music competing. So it all comes down to the politics

First, you have to be with the right record label. Burna boy is signed to Atlantic Records.
And it gets easier when you're not in a competitive category.

Ever wonder why
2pac
Bryan Mcknight
Nas* ( Nas just won, imagine that?)
Katie Perry
Bob Marley
Fela
Nicki Minaj
Snoop
ABBA..
didn't win?

Does that mean those winning are better than these guys?
Even Burna boy in all his arrogance can't claim to be better than any of the above

You are very dishonest. Stop foolin yourself here:

Outside, Bank on it are useless. Onyeka (even though is named after my sister) is trash. Wonderful and Remember Me is average. Dangote is good. Real Life sounds like UK hiphop. 23 another waste of time. Heaven's Gate also sounds like UK music. Monsters You made is a dark and useless song that sounds like American black panther hiphop. Where I'm from and Time Flies...crap and crap.

Only Dangote has any originality here. Timi Dakolo sings better songs that all the other rubbish you post here. You keep trying to push this fake narrative. Again, what is burna singing that we have not heard before? You burna boy d1ck riders need to be honest and stop exagerrating his abilities. It is embarrassing.
