Burna Boy: ‘Easterners In Nigeria Only Love Their People In Music’ by Amarachi1990: 2:21am On Jul 14, 2019
Burna Boy in his interview with Julie Adenuga as Apple's Up Next Artiste, opened up on some parts of his life including his music and what he does when he breaks down.

The BET Awards winner passed off the unknown side of his visits to Ghana in the interview, by disclosing that he goes there to get genuine peace.

“That’s the only place I have actual genuine peace. When you go to Labadi Beach and you look at the line that separates the sky from the water, I feel like that’s where God lives,” he said to the show's host Julie Adenuga.

“I go on my robot mode.. I play like 3-4 shows and I eventually break down. That’s what happens when I go to Ghana,”  the 'Dangote' crooner added.

Burna Boy also revealed that he was making music for himself, before 2014 when he performed in a stadium in the Eastern part of Nigeria. He claimed that Easterners only love only their people in music, and a singer has really "popped" when he has crossed over.

"THAT'S THE FIRST TIME I DID A SHOW IN A STADIUM IN THE EASTERN PART OF NIGERIA, WHERE IT IS LIKE THEY ONLY LIKE THEIR OWN PEOPLE. SO IF YOU CROSS OVER THERE, THEN LIKE YOU'VE POPPED. LIKE I'VE NEVER SEEN NOTHING IN MY LIFE, I DIDN'T EVEN THINK IT WAS REAL THING THAT COULD HAPPEN".

He's talking about Road block 2014. The concert pulled over 120k people, even Tiwa savage confessed she hasn't seen anything like that. I was there backstage,it was crazy.
So sad this Nsukka man came on board and canceled what was the biggest show East of the Niger and probably the most attended show in the continent.

Burna boy, we love all musicians davido, Tiwa savage, wizkid Kiss Daniel. All these artist I mentioned above use 90% of pidgin so that even aboki can relate.

For instance, who would have believed that Mr Real is from Anambra. But he sings in 80% Yoruba. People in the east vibes to his melody but don't understand what he's saying.

For instance, people in Enugu will get excited about Davido or Kizz Daniel than Mr. Real.

Just like how Phyno sings in 90% igbo language, his craft won't get people too excited in Ijebu Ode than Enugu.

But all the same I love all Nigerian musicians, and I thank them for making us proud

Imagine Burna boy, as if he's not Igbo.

Back in 2014, his music wasn't that interesting and sweet like nowadays he changed pattern.

I mean I like Burna boy a lot even back then in 2014, I knew it was just a matter of time before his music blow hotter and what's happening now?

Burna boy don't talk like you don't reason well.

We the east love your music well and every other musician that gives us good tunes.


Maybe the weed you smoke told you that.

If you really want to conduct a research, never use the bolded line above. It's condescending and people who use it are usually empty.

Burna boy doesn't behave like igbos at all
He behaves like Yorubas,hangs out with Yorubas
U hardly see him speaking Igbo in his music
D guy is technically Yoruba
Do u know how Yorubas have helped his career?
A time on MTV base ,they were asking him where u came from ,so d interviewer said is he from d same region as timaya
If u see d way burna boy changed his face on mtv base
I remembered d program,its called top 10 naija on MTV base, he was asked about his region,he didn't even act like he was from rivers state
Why do u think he hangs out only with Yoruba artiste
Did u forget when he went to Ghana for vacation with wizkid early this year
The guy acts like Yoruba

Lol.......the way Nigeria is structured if you are not Yoruba
You can never succeed in Music
Why? Because Yoruba own the Media
Even Ruffcoin openly said it in
BBC Igbo

Am sure if Zlatan was from Igbo
He wouldn't even be known
Exactly! you said it all.

I said technically
The guy doesn't even associate himself with anything Igbo
His hero is fela
If a Ghanian listens to his songs they would think he is yoruba ,I won't lie,I used to think he was Yoruba
He is just Igbo by tribe
I doubt he even knows any Igbo words than popular Igbo slangs
Lol
u see him calling a whole Igbo tribe that he belongs to Easterners,and u think he considers himself Igbo?
Note: I'm not saying Burna boy is Yoruba
I'm just stating facts

He's from Anambra, he's real name is Okafor Uchenna Victor, popularly known as Mr. Real. He grew up in Lagos(Abule Egba) he's an Okija guy. It was Ebuka that brought my attention to it.

Timaya interacts, associates and feels more comfortable with igbos more than yourubas. Same way Timi dakolo and burna boy loves associating with Yorubas .
