The guy I just stating the obvious, there is no pride whatsoever here, the is own his league right now, allow him to feel himself. Nobody looks at your face when you re nobody

Grammy no be headies award.

Remove Wizkid and Davido from there, wetin dem dey sing?

udoekere:
Mtcheeeeew audio Grammy.BurnaBoy was underated but I think he is now overrated.if people like wizkid and David can't win Grammy then who are u.

henryobinna:
this guy don dey feel himself


When wizkid blow around 2009 was there Instagram and other social media to hype his songs...

Na say them don hype Burna too much that's why he's talking crap, Psquare, 2baba, dbanj went places they did a lot of things and achievements just that there wasn't much exposure for the naija music... now he's enjoying the foundation they all laid only to be bragging about bringing respect bla bla bla...

does he know there are lots of Nigerians who still don't listen to his songs?

I don't listen to his childish rhymes.

Larryslim:
Burna Boy is just saying the truth.
Burna Boy was underrated, he had good songs but no one payed attention to him, He dropped two good albums "LIFE and Outside", nobody was listening to him, Even the media rarely played his music then, he built his own fanbase and they were called "Outsiders", the guy had to struggle for the fame he has, and someone will say "Wizkid paved way for him".
Truth is No one paved way for Burna boy, he had to go from underrated and not listened to, to what he is now and it's his own hardwork and not someone's.
And most of y'all are just haters, hating on him for a Grammy nomination that your Favs will never get, Burna is the closest any Nigerian artiste will get to being nominated and even if Grammy creates "Afrobeat" Category, it will be because of Burna Boy's "African Giant".

Nicely said....I remember when most Nigerians no even know say this guy get songs.. foreigners even gbadun the guy pass us...then the thing sabi wonder me because he sings good music..

Like if he had given up,they would have chance to say all this they are saying.. The baba paved way for himself joor...it isn't easy to make people accept what they barely don't like.

ATTemi:
Grammy no be headies award.

Help me ask them ?? Especially that whizkid...that guy nor dey sing anything ..him juju really strong....Atleast davido dey come out with some reasonable lyrics wey person fit reason say him try...but that whizkid zero....

Temmy6236:
When your village people are ready to finish your career......they give you pride. Sorry Burna!

I'm surprised people are just realising he's proud. I've known right from time. To him he doesn't give a bleep about naija and Nigerians. He believes he's self made.

U copycat. From fela no raw content.

tfash96:
Just because of 2-3 years high relevance not upto half of decade of Davido's as well as Wizkid's weed has started entering his medulla oblongata

His hit songs are fading already

End of year village should be done with him

If you were to be him,you will act that way ....If you know how Nigerians belittled this guy you for understand why he will never give a fu*ck on Nigerians... Nigerians are so good on talking you down when they don't understand what you do..Burna boy was seriously underated in Nigeria..Nigerians started accepting when global recogniton brought him to us....

An average Nigerian believes whizkid sings better that seun-kuti..or davido sings better than dare art Alade. That's just it...Our problem in Nigeria is crowd mentality

From the comments I'm seeing here; I'm convinced alot of people didn't want this guy to win that Grammy.

ericmor:


Grammy was just last month o, nomited for the just past Grammy award

Nominated last year award took place this year

This is what happens when a butterfly begins to imagine himself as a bird.

Wizkid, Davido for Grammy award?

Wetin dey go come give 2baba?

Thonee:
[b]Psquare dominated African music for a long time with classic songs and breathtaking performances [/b]but never claimed to be the way maker, D'banj,2baba,9ice,Timaya, I mean these guys stated when i only watch them on soundcity and Music Africa.

Kennis music set the pace, even if they're not really relevant now but lots of 9ja artist are enjoying their struggle.

I swear I wonder why people are not talking about this, if not for their split I don't think people like Davido and Wizkid would have audience at all, psquare was the face of Nigeria music industry globally, they did songs that penetrated even the middle east and Arab countries, even Michael Jackson's family had to invite them to America at some point..

Burna Boy just fall my hand big time really..

Nothing person no go see for this Zoo..

una dey talk rubbish, burna boy said the Truth everybody dy hustle for him own pocket.no body paved shit..una just dy hate burna cuz he doesn't play to the gallery by giving underserved Glory.. haters everywhere...

Every artist and great man you see today probably faced the same fate before making it, he's not alone.
Even family members will mock you when you aspire to be different or introduce an ideology, it's determination and dedication that makes the difference.
So when they see you are not giving up and you are "blowing" they gather around you and support you. That's life. So his experience is not new, and that doesn't mean he should diss everyone and feel he's more important and doesn't need them.

When the hyping is getting out of hand they begin to misbehave.. this fela wannabe..


Grammy nomination is playing with your head.. There is nothing you have/are done/doing that the likes of 2baba, dbang, 9ice and even Wizkid and Davido haven't done. These people had songs and albums better than yours it's just that naija music wasn't as established and worldwide the way it is now.. Not to mention the role social media now plays in influencing music relevance.


Everything in life is time and chance. Even you yourself will understand that because as i recall you have also been singing for quite some years now and you are just getting the attention and recognition now after many years... Enjoy it while it lasts; who knows by this time next year you might not be relevant anymore.....


Who remember a certain musician called Nico Gravity and how he tried to curb Timaya when he was feeling like the chairman of naija music industry.. maybe that is what Burna Boys needs

NICO GRAVITY MY GEE

Make we no lie,you get sense walahi

I said it will be awful if this boy won Grammy, but y'all was bashing me then,now you see

Who be burna boy where teni de trillionaire dey

Hatrik:
Well you can't just get enough from celebrities.

Last year Grammy nominee Burna Boy is trending for all but a controversial tweet boasting that "[b][/b]NOBODY paved shit for him" he claim Nigerian artist made us look weak out there. Anyway take a look for yourself.

See empty pride.

Pride goes befall a fall.

Burna Boy has forgotten his music only appeals to people who like noise

Burna no even try reach 9ice alapomeji

If it's not for the likes of dbanj,2face,psqare that brought Nigeria music to international stardom this boy won't see shit from his songs.

If Nigerian music was always this appreciated then 9ice would have won the Grammy when he introduced a whole new dimension to Afro beat.

Gentlemanforyou:
I'm very different from the 3 comments above me , but I think I'm not going to join the bandwagon of people who sit behind their China phone to rubbish the effort of great men while coming up, see their mouth like parrot ," if wizkid no fit collect Grammy who is Burna" is like your village people are winning abi. I'm not a die hard burns fan but I appreciate his works and talents . Dont quote me with facts at least he was nominated for Grammy. They haven't nominated you for any award in your discipline and you're here judging and talking down on one of our living legends . Nonsense and shibaraba

Lol.

Me that I have won awards in my discipline, can I talk?

Anyway, Burna Boy is a master chef. He creates great music and with the trail of achievements from 2018 till now, I think he has earned bragging rights.

So what should the likes of femi kuti that has been nominated from as far back as 2012 or Angelique that has won more than twice do.

This guy that built his career on sampling and forming Fake Fela.

Them go soon knack am something.

Statements like this are a prelude to downfall.

Seun Kuti has been nominated for the Grammy before Burna Boy. We heard no trash from Seun.

So the Promoters, Radio DJs, TV presenters etc
Didnt pave the way abi

High level of ignorance and Pride

I give him another 5yrs max he will fade out

englishmart:
If he had won in the Grammys, I would have completely doubted the credibility of the Grammy awards. Non but one of his songs makes sense

You said non made sense, then why was he nominated for grammy? Nawao

Kenturkey048:
OGA burna boy sings afrobeat,,the rest you've mentioned sings Afro-pop wizkid and davido inclusive ... Burna paved way for himself because hadn't brought modernization to afrobeat nobody for listen to am.

he paved way for himself and can sample for africa

he even sample 9ice in anybody!

"if you get money,so lets spend it
To ba lowo,je k'awon PADI re je mbe"


in 9ice's little money

What are you talking about. Grammy is the greatest award for any musician. So you have no point
