Burna Boy whose real name is Damini Ogulu broke into the Nigerian Music limelight in 2012 with "Like to Party" having previously taken over the Port Harcourt music industry with singles like "Abeg Abeg Abeg" and "Wombolombo" and he has not looked back ever since. 3 Years in the limelight and he is already a household name and although he has dropped countless chart-dropping singles, there is no denying the fact that he has a lower than appropriate number of awards and accolades for it.

It is rather shocking that Burna Boy's Nigerian Entertainment Award of 2013 Award as Best New Act Of the Year is the only notable award he has won as an artiste despite the glaring evidence of his songs' success and popularity across the continent. He contentiously lost out at the 2013 Headies to Sean Tizzle for the "Next Rated Category" and most recently MTV Africa's snub of his efforts in their 2015 awards nominations list was one the artiste couldn't stomach anymore and he voiced out his frustrations. More surprising was the fact that these days he seems more of a South African artiste considering the amount of time he spends over there and 80% of his collaborations for sometime now has been with South African artistes. So, if MTV was pro-SA they should have atleast given him a nomination. He has been nominated in the Best Reggae/Dancehall category at this year's Headies and one cannot securely place a bet on him winning that award this year considering the opposition he faces in that category and considering the fact that acts like Patoranking and Cynthia Morgan have been busy getting to the nigerian "Streets" and solidifying their spots in the nigerian industry with songs, performances and collaborations while Burna Boy has been busy trying to break more into the South African market who nevertheless seem not to be giving him that much recognition.

Let's all hope Burna boy re-strategizes, re-evaluates and re-structure his Music offerings and his appeal to the Nigerian audience, also if possible employs the alleged 'man know man' certain artistes use to gain recognition because his kind of music which is uniquely styled deserves more accolades than he gets. He is definitely not one who deserves to be the Nigerian version of "R'Kelly and a Grammy award".

All I took note of is ur composition. Nice 1 u tried

I see

He won a collaborative award during the 2015 MTV MAMAs; that also counts for something. Who cares where you're appreciated? Dbanj is no longer appreciated at home but he amasses international recognition. If his calling is South Africa then he should enjoy it while it lasts.

diz him Dada sha: -X

everything is Politics
Winning awards isn't about how Good your Song is?
#Fact

Ok na

who is Burna talk more of the boy?...

D topic n storyline seems not 2 reconcile wit each other. Buh I must confess ur such a great writer. Thumbs up

How do you expect him to win? What is he singing?

He should just relax and eat his money in peace. After all I Haven't seen or heard of Rick Ross receiving any award

Don't know why. But I'm not too cool with his songs. His voice, lyrics, beat and tone.... I don't even understand the genre of music he does... what should he be winning awards for?...





If you say he's one beautiful man I'll agree. But songs?..... kai!

Maybe it's just me tho

For the sake of probabrilriti

apart of lyrics and song mehn burna boy is one of the best afrobeat musician here in nigeria, go check some of he's song the like's of Rockstar, Abeg Abeg Ft 2baba And Timaya.
just don't no why he haven't won so much award

Which color of best reggae/dance Hall? , You guys thought cynthia Morgan loved him, she just came to collect the guys destiny
Well burna got some talent, give him that and I think he deserves more

Its really sad when talented artistes don't really get appreciated than those singing trash.

Burna boy is a very good artist, love his songs. He and blackmagic really are great guy in afrobeat.

Abeg abeg abeg Burna Boy is one of my favourite Nigerian artistes........If any of una oppose me Yawa Dey O!

the most important thing is the guy is still relevant

is it a must?who i'm i impressing?

lol Ufan you dey vex?

I dont really listen to Naija songs but Burna Boy made me interested with that "run my race" song...


The dude is good in his own frame, He is different...i enjoy his songs....i also think he needs to get involved more with other good artiste...2 or 3 collabos might suffice.

He also needs to sing more commercial trash to get more rave...I think Burnaboy style of singing is personal to him which is cool by the way...like i said...Trash on commercial sells nowadays,Commercial Trash get the awards/endorsement..


Puts sh1ts like Skiboroosbhoo(how/what the fvck does Little Kesh n Co mean) ,Idi worororo(only dimwits lucky enough to be blessed understands this whenever Yemi Alade spits it), Skelemba, Skelewu etc.

Another thing is his involvement with Cynthia Morgan, Badgurl Cynthia is feeding off Burnaboys status, like Cynthia is Using him as a kinda ladder for more raves..Karrueche-Chrisbrown kinda relationship.my opinion tho..He enjoys the distraction,its kinda telling on his career,he likes it anyways.

am still luking for the curse
