That's low self esteem from him.

Mosh1:

You are leaving the message to attack the messenger, prove to him that Burma boy is Igbo, even you know he is not.

Are you OK?

What is my business with where he's from, how does that affect national issue?
I know that guy is not from southsouth, he's just out to make it look like there's fight between igbo n southsouth, that's why I attacked him

Yemi Slade, Igbo? Her mum is, she is not.

You need updating, she claim her mom's side... go and check

We appreciated Nice the Gongwaso crooner and we 're from the East

We jammed Olamide and Olu Maintain and we 're from the East

We Jammed all 2face songs from his first album to his 4th album we 're from the East.

I guess Mi was from the East when we jammed his African rapper no 1 track all through that year.

Abeg no bring division in Nigeria music industry with your senseless talk bros. Phyno has featured Olamide in his songs more than he has featured other Igbo artists on his songs.. That s love. E be like say Stefflon don don dey carry her pussy dey scatter your brain coupled with excessive intake or weed

Alphagan:


Ohh, pardon my observation then. Guess your friend is too local to know what's happening in the national scene. Try to carry her along or at best, she could move to the city

I recently saw a video of an Igbo masquerade and his people singing and gbeing their bodies.

As if you don't know they do carry igbo masquerade outside igboland base on request or if it's necessary

DuBLINGreenb:
How is Burna Boy igbo? Timi dakolo or Timaya are all south south Ijaw ethnic nationality Niger delta Republic Google about any of those words/terms abeg we are not igbo thank you we are the fourth largest ethnic group in Nigeria and not a sub group of igbo.
Igbo people want us for our oil daz all they want to use us as fuel to run biafra. It will not work.
Tamara/Tamuno is different from Chukwu

If you read the entire comments thus far properly, you'd have noticed that no one said timi dakolor or timaya were igbos. However Calling Burna Boy based on his place of origin (which is Ahoada) Igboid/igboic is not wrong. He's from a tribe that's some where between ogba and ogbia, their people bear igbo last names, their spoken language is a slightly more twisted Ogba which is an igbo subgroup, the first indegine from his village that built the first primary school in the area had a full igbo name, their kings have igbo names.

And sorry but there's no tribe called niger delta in nigeria, sorry for busting that bubble bro!

what is the Ahaoda (rivers igboid) boy saying?

There is nothing like rivers igboid.

someone that said God is living inside ocean , I think he was high

Let me tell you the little I know about Yoruba language.
The language is a highly tonal language and so if u listen to Yoruba music and past Yoruba musicians you will observe that it isn't difficult to compose music with the mixture of Yoruba words and modern musical instruments and note I am not talking of music application, I mean real instruments.
2. Yoruba music is easy to dance too even if you don't understand the language, you will be moved by the different instruments and percussions.
That's the like I know

Ghana Is The Only Place I Have Genuine Peace - #BurnaBoy. �: Apple Music Beat 1

Amarachi1990:
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".

Maybe,the easterners don't like your style of music,that's just all,cos,we(eastward) luv wizkid,davido etc

Gentlewarrior1:
I never knew burna boy was this stupid

No wonder he stopped handling his social media for his own good now he is talking trash when interviewed

I and countless igbo peeps listen to his music a lot

He just lost a fan

99.9 percent of your likes didn't watch the interview. He was asked when did he know music is the thing for him, he said the show he went for in the eastern part of Nigeria.

It was the love they showed him that made him believe music is for him. He then went on to say considering its a region where they prefer their own artists, it was big for him. In a few words, Easterners made him believe in himself.

But as always, bloggers feed on your likes.

Nemesis909:


Is now Igboid?

There is Ijoid and Igboid.


These are the mixed group.


Burna Boy is not Ijaw but from an Igboid group.


His last name is Igbo.


Rivers State is largely Igboid.


Whilst Bayelsa is largely Ijoid.


Not everybody in Bayelsa is Ijaw.


Likewise not everybody in Rivers is Igbo.


There are Igboid in Bayelsa and Ijoid in Rivers.

thats the worst statement to make by burna boy ,in nigeria no tribe i repeat no tribe can match igbo peoples in appreciating music ,igbo people love good music no matter where the music is from,do you know that shina peters used to perfom in traditional marriages in igbo land then.do you that shina peters sang a full album for morris ibekwe ?do you know that many ghananian musicians were aba and onitsha based back in the lates 70s and 80s?do you know back in the 80s igbo people has been using odoyewu as a nick name i was even thinking then thats is an igbo name ,what of ikwokirikwo music from congo?sotey even fuji musician ayinde wasiu sang for morris ibekwe and izuchukwu transporter dan ubajiaka?burna boy grew up in ibadan with his mum so he did not mingle with igbos just like yemi alade did not mingle with yorubas when she was growing up,

Burns boy, u are becoming popular please don't kill ur career with sentiment, we all enjoy ur music, we don't care if u like Igbo or not, just sing ur songs, I don't know y some ppl don't knw how to manage fame

Didn't they teach u English in primary one

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

These facts are hurting, pls stop.

These guys should be speaking straight English or just pidgin. Something we can understand.
