You get time to dey reply him,they don't know the difference between the rave of the moment and being established as the biggest artiste in the continent, they think it's a day job to become the biggest artiste in the continent,it requires a certain degree of consistency which davido and wizkid has maintained over the years, burna boy might dish out better songs currently, but his status still don't compare to them.

Though the guy is talented but I think he's a bit overrated... Some people even tip him to win Grammy!. Is he really as talented as Tuface and P square in their days?

typical Nigerian with the "go and do your own" mentality. This is why we don't have serious critics here. Nigerians hate criticisms cos they see it as hate and jealousy. There's no music or movie in the Western World without reviews. They say it as it is for their artists to grow in quality. Even the Beyonce that you all worship is heavily criticised.


Truth is, Burna Boy like every other Nigerian artist needs good song writers. His lyrics are so repetitive with just 4 or 5 lines. 98.9% of our artists are guilty of this. Burna is predictable and monotonous right now. He's overrated and he seems to have allowed his recent suceess to get into his head

Like seriously, wizkid in particular, the great things he is the first to do in Africa, until somebody reach certain heights of those greatness

Your Dbanj analogy is a poor one...

This guy wan finally sell him soul, I'm sure buyers don line up. I'm sure he's equal to the tax too,since he was able to play axeman/cultism game n played it well for ph, a whole Rivers of blood, despite killing people at a time during his days as an executioner.

Moreover, in selling the soul he should be careful so he doesn't get scammed (oyinbos are the worst/notorious scammers) or even sell the soul for a counterfeit. D'banj will tell him better.

In other news; power is taken n not given, if to say the family of that boy SARS people beat him mumcy alongside him get levels, all the officers on duty that particular day for collect majorly. Dem never even born person wey go born person wey go born the person or group of people wey go try that rubbish with my mumcy. Iswear blood which is obviously theres go flow by any means.
First u accuse someone of being a cultist, then u end ur comment sounding like one! undecided

It is going to be hard. Most celebrities and brilliant minds want to associate with Nigerians. Why do you think smart ones end of marrying Nigerians? There is no where you enter on this planet that people don't pause to listen when they see any Nigerian. The only challenge is that our economy is not good. Things are not fine at home, so they will not come. They can just visit and leave. Until we make our home enticing and very safe for foreigners. We are still the giant of Africa any day, anytime. But we need to move to the standard world power is expecting. We should be the first African officially included in the G8 world power. So, they can call it G9 or whatever.

I like how his lyrics still make sense. I honestly thought with fame he’ll put less effort into his songwriting but no, his songs still make as much sense as his hustling days. I’m still not a fan, though.

Nigerian singer, Burna Boy has opened up on his actual desire concerning crossing over to the American music industry.

In an interview with The Fader, the Afrobeat singer who is fast gaining international recognition, revealed that his actually desire is to cross foreigners over to African music.

”Yeah, I care about crossing over, but like in the opposite way. It’s like I want to come here (US) and cross you over to where I am (Africa). Because where i am is the actual home or the beginning”, Burna Boy said.
Facts yu said it all..... that's shoe the maturity no b by age
Speaking on whether African music is accomplishing giant strides abroad, Burna Boy said, ”It’s being accomplished because now everyone I come across is proud to be African”

When asked if he feels Nigeria is being misunderstood by outsiders, the singer said even insiders misunderstand the country.

”Nigeria is being misunderstood by insiders. I can guarantee you that at least 90% of my age group considered the youth had no clue about the real origins of Nigeria.....
FACT!!!!!

”There’s so much truth that need to be known. The only thing that can save the youth is knowledge and financial independence” he said.

Yes oooo.thats what the youth really need .....����

Now you can go back a re-re-read that my first comment which you quoted. This time, read it very very slowly; read it with a clear and unbiased mindset, maybe you can even try reading it just when you wake up in the morning with a fresh head. And maybe just maybe, you will finally realise that you've been misreading my very simple comment.

Like Insaid before, God don catch you... But you shouldn't be embarrassed, we all overlook or misread things sometimes too. No one is above mistakes. smiley

Yeah me too. I know burna is a very good musician, but I'm not into dt whole 'fela' type of music. I'm not a huge fan of dt afrobeat music style.

Wizkid dips into afrobeat songs too like jaiyejaiye, gbese (with djtunez), lagos vibes, manya, fever. These songs all have dt afrobeats vibe, but I think he leaned more into the highlife aspects of it which I prefer.

Burna could win a Grammy for dis afrobeats style though cos they love dt type of music. Felas sons have been nominated several times because of it. I wish him all the best. His only song dt I really love is dt 'angelina song. I could listen to it all day. I liked dangote lyrics too but not really the music.
