Grammy-winning singer, Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, has sparked debate once again with his bold claim, declaring, "I’m the godfather of the Nigerian music industry."


This assertion was made on the remix of the viral South African song 'Tshwala Bam' by TitoM and Yuppe, released last week. In the opening verse, Burna Boy asserts, "As long as Naija la wa…Them they call me the Godfather," solidifying his position in the Nigerian music scene.


Burna Boy has consistently been vocal about his status as the leader of the Nigerian music industry.


His confidence and assertiveness have often sparked discussions and controversy among fans and fellow artists. Years back, after his Grammy win, he declared himself the "blueprint" of the Nigerian music industry, a statement that stirred significant reactions.


Burna Boy’s journey in the music industry has been marked by a series of achievements that reinforce his claim.


His album ‘African Giant’ not only brought him international acclaim but also showcased the depth and richness of African music to a global audience.


The album’s success was followed by 'Twice as Tall,' which won the Grammy Award for Best Global Music Album, further cementing his influence and leadership in the industry.


However, Burna Boy is not alone in claiming the top spot. His colleague Davido has also laid claim to the leadership of Afrobeats.
