Burna is a fellow Rivers Man but you'll never see him come out straight to boast or be proud of his state of origin


He will never win a Grammy



So you want him to leave Lagos for Rivers to do militant job, oil theft and shouting our oil

I don't have your time

When you have time get it from the horses mouth instead of copying and pasting from wiki. Of course her father identify as Fon because his family had settled among the Fons for a very long time. But their lineage is Iseyin Oyo state. There blood is 100% Nigerian (Its no different from Emmanuel Adebayor. Who will tell you I am a Togolese but my family originates from Nigeria). And on her mother side from Abeokuta not Benin. She (Angelique Kidjo) still visits her aunties in Ogun state.

This is not me saying it. This is Angelique Kidjo herself. Don't argue with me. grin

A well deserved win to Kidjo.
The content of her songs are out of this world. She is a mix of Maya Angelou and Miriam Makeba.

Music lovers and genuine content critics like myself would have given up on the credibility and essence of the Grammy Awards if another undeserving artiste had won this.

Sentiments aside, Nigeria is yet to replicate another Fela Kuti in the global music sphere.

Fela is the only Nigerian deserving of a Grammy.
Because music is not about dancesteps or groupie trends but about a movement, a message, reawakening a consciousness and yet the melody from real musical instruments.
This is a reality lost on today's Nigerian artistes aside from Asá who still lacks in consistency.

As an African act, till your music can be accepted by Pastors, Imams, Youths, elders, global leaders, United Nations and illiterates, then you stand a chance of being an African Album or winning a foreign award in Music.

Nigeria and Nigerians must understand that club bangers do not translate to foreign awards in global music.
drake has a 4 fucking grammys n i dont even like any of his songs

I am neither. I'm just someone who knows and appreciates good music.

Not acknowledging that Burna is talented will just be bad belle. He has done very well for himself and I hope he continues this run with consistency, but the fact is he has his betters and not acknowledging this fact is delusional.

I think you have said it all.

We don kukuma adopt am before. His middle name is Yoruba. Ebunoluwa.

The truth is Burna Boy is a Lagos boy who spent his teen years in London. Then came back to Lagos to pursue music. You don’t expect him to have port harcourt lingo.

Her father is Yoruba but they gave her fon names, at least Adebayor has Yoruba names

Her mother is from Abeokuta but she sings in the Yoruba dialect of Port Novo/Keotu.

I'm saying the noisy Yoruba fuji songs sound better than Fela's songs.

I can confirm the Yorubas are good at Hip-hop music, it's that also tribalism?

Nna Fela and his songs are rubbish.
The only thing I like him for is standing against politicians

Mister man listen to her yourself. Stop arguing with me. I will not do your homework for you. The video is there for you to watch.


As per your second query. What kind of Yoruba do they speak in Benin? If you live among the Benin Yorubas of course you will grow up to speak that Yoruba. Just as if an Ijebu was born/ grew up in Lagos you speak Lagos Yoruba not Ijebu Yoruba what is hard to understand.

Please don't quote me again until you watch just a few minutes of that video (starting from minute 3).

He identify with his mum's people..........since he grew up amongst the Yoruba's, even the grandfather played with fela band all through........ So they didn't actually have much to do with PH from the beginning.

This is wrong. Beyoncé, Eminem, MJ's 'Thriller', Taylor Swift's '1989', and even Jay Z have all won the Grammy Album of the year award.

Most of the songs on their albums are club bangers, and widely accepted by younger generations. I can't imagine any of Jay Z's, and Eminem songs that will will be accepted by religious leaders.

Most educated folks don't even understand Eminem's raps because he is always dissing the world and lacing his materials with double and triple entendres.

The category is much more beyond acceptability and the class or category of people your album resonate with. Kidjo will still return and win another next year as always.

Those people do good music and they pass messages. They are known by all bcs of most of them Critics. As an Africa, you need just more than club banging songs for the world to accept you and that’s why burna was accepted when he switch to claim Afro beat which was fela way but none is like fela to me yet
