Burna Boy: Embodying The Ideology Of Afrobeats by Azeemokoya: 8:35am On May 03, 2022
Burna Boy indeed makes the Afrobeats music genre enjoyable and appealing to an international audience. He is one of a kind; he embodies the rebellious spirit of Afrobeats.

Grammy award winner, Damini Ogulu renowned by his pseudonym Burna Boy on Thursday, April 28 made history as the first-ever Nigerian musician to headline a concert at the Madison Square Garden (MSG), New York, USA.

Burna Boy, a Maverick will go down in history as one of the greatest vocalists to grace the music scene.

A touch of madness today, a phenomenal expression of his undeniable talent tomorrow; makes him an enigma. You can’t pigeonhole this controversial figure.

What distinguishes Burna Boy from his contemporaries?
Three things makes the self-acclaimed African Giant stand shoulders above his peers. Here is what News Round The Clock has to say:

1. A Sense of grandeur.

Burna Boy has never apologised for his God-given ability. You can choose to hate him or love him, albeit, you can’t turn a blind eye to his lyrical dexterity.

Equally, you can’t deny his excellence and execution on the mic, Burna Boy recognizes this, that’s why he is a multi-Grammy award nominee. He doesn’t participate in that ‘faux-humility’ mask most of his peers wear.


Dude doesn’t give a ‘flying pea about your nut’, you talk you collect.

2. The Prognosis of a problem child.

When Burna Boy’s ‘Tonight‘, ‘Run my race‘ and ‘Like to party‘ debuted in late 2012 off his debut studio album, LIFE, everyone expected him to fade into obscurity sooner than later. Falling off stage here and beating up Mr 2kay there; Alot of people didn’t give him a chance.

He was blackballed, Labelled a problem child; they weren’t wrong, he was infuriatingly condescending sometimes...
