seriously! you called burna boy legend, what will you call WizKid then??
I have nothing against burna boy, if he deserve the Grammy and he wins it good for him. WizKid lame lyrics brought him to where he is today, so advising him to get a song writer @ this stage of his life is an understatement, he has won numerous awards (including Grammy nominations) with his so called lyrics, burna boy he's doing well but trust me he hasn't get to WizKid level no argument on that.

Gotten to his level...Loooll

You dont even know about Wizkid enough. The highlight of his career is his feature in One dance. Based on Individual performance, he is nowhere near Davido talkless Burna

Uptill now Wizkid is the only A list African artist who doesn't have a solo video with 100M YouTube views, No Spotify single with 25M plays, No Solo certification in US, UK or Europe. See just thank GOD for Drake in his life. If you really know what's going on in industry, you will know Wizkid has been technically retired.

I even thought you knew these numbers....���❗

KingKingKing:
You go see person wey no get money no get fame , we no fit sing wey no get awards dey advise person wey get fame, money, sabi sing , wey Beyonce feature... Don't u see u are beginning to go mental..

Wizkid needs no song writers.. He's s most relevant, respectable and d greatest artist in Africa!

Baba no b social media person yet he's this relevant.. Let ur fave try this and see if your fave won't lose relevance in 2mnths

Respectable that signed a slavery deal with Sony...lolz
The only Nigerian artist with a proper international deal and who is respected is Burnaboy.

Greatest ....lol .. he no near am... Tell him to get at least one Grammy nomination for HIS own body of work first .... Where you put Ladysmith, Kidjo, Femi Kuti ....����

Temysteve:
so Buena boy woro si woro na lyrics abi, I can feel your pain bro.

Lol, among the legends, you brought out the African Giant because of hate. He is getting more nominations and Grammy wins next year.

I remember vividly the slander and hate speech from Nigerians when this album was released. Burna always replies his haters with extreme success. He is not at his peak yet, but has distinguished himself as THE AFRICAN GIANT !

The African Giant Album is a year already!

July 26th, 2020, made it a year since Burna Boy’s 4th studio album “African Giant” was released by Spaceship Entertainment, Atlantic Records and Warner Music. The 19-track album which contributed largely to Burna Boy’s international success in 2019, also earned him his first Grammy nomination and has thus far garnered close to a Billion streams on all music platforms.

The Afro-fusion artiste himself made the announcement via his Instagram page:

AFRICAN GIANT IS 1 TODAY!! A few streams off a billion across all platforms. The journey has been crazyyyy! You’ve all become family and we’ve made history together! Sold out shows worldwide, awards and most importantly, the lives that have been impacted by the music! #AGIS1

Don’t get comfortable though, I’m coming back TWICE AS TALL! 

The African Giant Album One Year Later

The African Giant album is a mixture of Afrobeats, dancehall, pop, and hip hop. It was produced primarily by Kel P, along with production from Benjamin Zill, Dre Skull, and Skrillex, among others. The album features guest appearances from Jorja Smith, Jeremih, Damian Marley, and Future, amongst others.

The African Giant album was supported by eight singles, including “On the Low”, which won Viewers’ Choice at the 2020 Soundcity MVP Awards Festival, “Killin Dem”, which won Song of the Year at the 2020 Soundcity MVP Awards Festival.

Data from Africa facts Zone on Twitter confirms that "African Giant" is the most streamed African album ever with a little off a Billion Streams.

Burna to the world

But on the flip side,
Unpopular opinion: Barring Burna's international recognition, taking into consideration talents and not really how it's been utilized, Kizz Daniel is more talented than Burna.

Let me run before they attack me. But then, they'd still attack me.

You don't know Burnaboy , if not you wouldn't have said this. He is the most talented musician of this generation. His range and versatility is unmatched on this continent.

PS : He went international in 2013

You are not even aware, right ?

meobizy:
His babymamas will run mad over this. It obviously is none of them. Kai, when a man dates or impregnates multiple women he'll see there's nothing special between a woman's thighs — unfortunately attracting more females on the way.

He 's in London with jada P

Gabaleve:
My name is David, On the 11th of July 2020 at around 11:50am, I was stopped by men of the Nigeria Police Force(Safer highways patrol) at the Ogori/Ageva road, Okene Local Govt, Kogi State. I was going to the market in company of a commercial motorcyclist whom I boarded his bike. When we got to the checkpoint, A police officer, ordered us to stop and requested to search my bag which I obliged.

While searching through my bag, they found a couple of drugs, precisely 4 tablets of paracetamol, 8 ferrous tablets, 10 folic acid tablets and a tablet of postpill, they ignorantly asked what the postpill tablet is used for, I told them it's a contraceptive, the officer who searched my bag obviously didn't know what a contraceptive is, I told him it is used to prevent pregnancy and next he exclaimed “Guy I don catch u, u dey use am do abortion abi”.

First, I thought it was all a joke, I laughed and started explaining all over again, before I could finish, one of the officers roughly pushed me from behind, held my trouser and ordered me to sit on the bare floor, I obeyed and tried not to be rude since they were all armed, they labeled me a a rapist and a muderer since they concluded contraceptives are used to commit abortion.

After a while, one of the officers came to me acting all friendly and asking me to negotiate with him so he can help me beg his colleagues because if I am taken to the cell at the area command I will spend nothing less than 3 days in custody asides the heavy torture I would receive. At this point, I secretly started an audio and video recording of the events.

While they kept harassing me, a woman who knows me came along and intervened, all her pleadings fell on deaf ears as the officers were insistent on taking nothing less than N100,000. At last they settled for N10,000 after all the harrasment, time waste, torture and emotional trauma. I have uploaded the video and audio recording of the incident as evidence.

I have posted it on the police PCRU twitter page, whatsapp number and even called their numbers. On whatsapp, the message has been read but no significant reply, and whenever I call their hotlines, they keep directing me to the social media pages and they don't reply. I also posted on twitter with the pictures and video evidence, but I haven't been able to garner enough retweets.

I am calling on the I.G of the Police Force, the Kogi State Commisioner of Police, all other relevant bodies and well meaning individuals to help me get justice, retrieve my money and bring this corrupt officers to book as soon as possible.


Pls Front page, I need help... Thanks

Send all to Segalink, copy ruggedman on Twitter ASAP...

DrayZee:
Burna has done very very well for himself in the space of just 2 years. A small window of opportunity opened and he made the most of it to fire himself to the top to become Africas most streamed artist. Talent cannot be ignored forever.

Big ups to Wizkid and Davido too...they held the industry down for years.

Yes, you are right. Though he has been breaking records right from 2013. His Debut album LIFE is and remains the first and only debut album released by a Nigerian that made it to the Billboard Top 10 Global Charts (Reggae). He also sold 40,000 copies of the album in the first day of release...

afrorossiyatv:
Hello guys, this is Tochi once again. You guys know how much I love promoting the image of Nigeria and our culture here in Russia.

So today I decided to introduce Russians to Afrobeats/Nigerian music. I don't think I've ever seen any Russian Music tv station play any Afrobeats seconds with the exception of Wizkid's One Dance ft Drake.

So to I went to streets of Saint Petersburg, Russia and asked Russians to listen to Nigerian music by Wizkid, Davido and Burna Boy and tell me what they like about it.

Almost all the people that indulged me liked the music and some even said it's better than Russian Music and they wish their tv stations would play more of such songs.

Watch the video below to see their reaction and what they have to say about Nigerian music.

Drake's One dance ft Kyla and Wizkid...

alfredilly:
Wizkid, Davido, Burna and some other afrobeat singer are ruining the world of music. What is now called afrobeat is a poor imitation of US hip hop and r and b. They began to appeal to us after constant exposure to their awkward tune and vocals. Aside beat, there is nothing in their song other than incoherent noise.

Listen to Burna Boy's Another Story, Collateral Damage, then come and re-edit what you wrote...

Fucsheetup:
I have no reply for you if you are gullible enough to believe that there is anyone in this nation that has made it big through legal means. This whole country is illegal, it nations were not sovereign we’d be facing countless crimes. Not even Law firms or law enforcement make it legally, they are busy ether defending criminals in courts or protecting criminals in their homes.

My heart is an organ that pumps just blood. My brain does the vileness.


Keep your assertions to yourself, I don’t give a rat’s ass what ‘shame’ means to you, run your race of life, we’ll soon be 6ft deep.

Gullibility is when you think you can only make it in life through illegal or unjust means. I know too many people who have made it without engaging in anything illegal.

Change your mentality, change your life !!!

Sermwell:

Residents permits after 20years in jail?? So that he can continue fraud in US soil?? How old are you abeg??

The guy dey really funny...

Fucsheetup:
I live in Nigeria, I have no choice.

If I want to be rich, it must be through ‘evil means’.

Yes to your question.

Wow...as beautiful as you are, your heart is vile. What a Shame !

Millions in this country have made it big through legal means and are still making it. Why don't you consider those 'non-evil' options ?

Fucsheetup:
Curses don’t exist. You’d rather be poor than rich because you don’t want to be evil?

So you are in support of getting rich through evil means ?

We Global... Favour is greater than labour....

Themainboy22:
Happy birthday Burna the self-proclaimed african giant.

Self-proclaimed... Lol... The world and the continent celebrates him as the African Giant. Sadly your opinion is useless in the scheme of things. Hope you find peace...

potent5:

Nna eh. The tin wik me.

He is 29!. His classmates on Nairaland confirmed it. If you have been following him from 2015, you won't doubt his age also...

A raid in a drug Lord's home not prison.

Exactly... And that drug Lord's house was poorly secured at that...

BigTableShaker:
And somebody go they say I watch too much hollys.
Mykel51 come and see o.

This is reality.
It reminds me of the movie; Triple Frontier.
Dollar bills was murdered in that movie.

I ve seen Triple frontier... storyline is totally different...

You can't bust someone out a US Federal Prison in reality. Those things are movies...wake up bro...

BigTableShaker:

They can buy their way out bro.
With 1m USD, they could employ many judges, hitman, jail breaker etc.
if only they know.

You watch too much of Hollywood...

FreebiesGRAM:
The album will be nominated for the next grammy...

You people just call Grammy anyhow... For what category would he be nominated ??

The only person who can get another nomination and win is Burnaboy !!!

Watch the video of Soke released in 2015... See how young Burna is there... How can he be 35 or 40 ?

Believe it or not...he is 29!

Congrats to the African Giant !!!

SarkinYarki:



From my calculations its over 150 billion

Care to shed more light on how you arrived at your value ?

Collecting from the South to feed the North...

Missyajoke:


Some of these artists buy awards.

Yes, but this is not a Nigerian award, if not Rema would have won. This one is based on Merit and Excellence...

Sewgon79:


Point of correction, it is same awards. When the early was established in 2010 as International Act (Africa). Later change it to International Act (Globally) 2018.

They now create another as best New International Act.

So it is only two now

1. BEST INTERNATIONAL ACT
2. BEST NEW INTERNATIONAL ACT

No more International Act: Africa. So what wizkid won is same just that the name was changed and he won it twice 2012 and 2017.

Let wait how far Burna can go before judging.

Prior to 2018, the nominees were from Africa only, your research didn't reach there ba ??

From 2018, the nominees are from all continents aside North America.

They are not the same, One is Africa, One is Global. Get your facts right !!!

omokoginimi:


Bro, match fixing could be anywhere as long as it’s being run by humans. For you to even mention Grammys (the biggest match fixers) shows you know nothing about these things.

These people fix these things, they give to the highest bidder. Most of the times, record labels run these things. They pay award bodies for their artists.

I think I’ll just stop here sha because you my friend have started debating with a lot of emotions.

Enjoy your day Mr. Mike

Match fixing...lol...you know nothing Jon Snow. What proof do you have ??

You are beclouded by emotions which can't make you accept reality. What a shame !!!

vickydevoka:
He is not first person abeg.
Iceprince
Dvaido
Wiskid
All of Dem don win am. Buh burna mouth no let
us hear word[color=#990000][/color]

What Ice Prince and Wizkid won was Best International Act Africa not this... This is Best International Act (Global Category). The only Nigerian to have this is Davido in 2018, then Burna became the First Artiste Globally to win it consecutively. A really great feat !

Check Wikipedia if you are in doubt...

Cheers!
