Burna Boy is From PortHarcourt, confirm IGBO BOY, whether you like it or not...
So anyone that is from Port Hacourt is automatically Igbo, how well do you know about your Country?

Your friend needs to update herself. Perhaps, she only listens to local radios


Don't be a dunce, he/she is right... Just like Olamide broke into the east with a particular song back then, tell me which song Zlatan have that can give him such popularity in the east and north and stop saying what you don't know

This guy don start. I remember when Dj Buffalo soldier threatened to kill him in joburg, was it not the same eastern guys that came to his aid and beat up Buffalo soldier? He should be careful about the nonsense he spews out to the press

Didn't they teach u English in primary one
Ikpummadu ikpumumu
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






There is nothing wrong in knowing Yoruba more than Igbo probably he grow up in their mist , I can attest to that cause my elder brother doesn't know any word in Igbo as 2000 not until my parents took him to the village to learn Igbo since he finds it difficult to learn his own language .

Still don't understand why we should love our own again or is there a law against it.
Tiwa , Mi , Falz ,Davido, Wizkid , Adekunle,Simi and the rest of them are not Igbo's and yet we love them.
Don't know why people can't do without mentioning the Igbo .

See, me I no go gree 4 this one ooh! U pple want to drag the entertainment industry into social media tribal war this OP didn't write the whole interview he just selected the one he wants to use to stir online reactions and brought it here. What nonsense
There is nothing I've found more peace in than in music when it comes to music I forget your language tribe and religion so far as it is dope to my hearing drums infact because of phyno I b wan learn igbo so I go dey groove and understand im lyrics. U pple shud take time ooh! If na Nnamdi and FFK u can argue away your sorrow[b] but abeg leave the music and film and the entirety of the entertainment industry out of this bigotry
[/b]
Besides psychologists who studied the effect of modern day music have concluded that understanding the words don't matter anymore and u can actually like music with out knowing what the hell is being said. If I fit jam to gangam style and mi jente and macarina and all these American rappers na naija own I go come dey avoid?


Exactly - entertainment and Football
Two industries not yet tainted by tribal and religious bigotry.

Burner Boy should just up his game.

Personally, I love good music irrespective of the language.
I'm not Yoruba but I love that their hit song with Zlatan Ibile .... can't remember the title.

However, I don't seem to flow well with some of his other songs and this is not because of the Yoruba language.

Davido, Wizkid, Kiss Daniel and Tiwa Savage are among my favourite but they use a heavy dose of Yoruba in their songs too.

I remember back in 2012/2013 where I could go a whole day playing Davido's hit single, Damin Duro, even though I didn't
understand the lyrics

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.

I miss Road block.
Chimaroke actually started it,Sullivan picked up d baton but Nsukka ppl seem to have Anti-entertainment Gene in dem

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

his mom is Yoruba

Nwafor is always nwafor. Got that?
No matter how far flies goes it will still fall down for the frogs.

Igbo DNA is stronger and deeper than any tribes in the world.

Burna Boy has started talking nonsense because of the little award he won recently!

This was how Mr Eazi was talking trash about Nigerian music before Nigerians rejected him!!
