As far as am concern Burna boy can choose to join the protest at his own risk, one thing we ll understand in Nigeria for now be say we dont know who is who and we cant compare the era of Fela to this current dispensation, back then theres loyalty and you can depend on people support to protest against govt without expecting to be bank roll, Now all around the world almost all protester are paid for it, The blame i have for our musicians is just they are nomore representing the real cultural part of music, not any nigeria artist is currently using his or her musical power to speak against any bad govt policy and thats too bad!

Then you really havent listened to Fela's lyrics. Even back then people were docile and cowardly which explains why Fela sang about peolel not wanting to get up and do something. Nothing has changed. ....and who told you protesters are paid?

Burna is right anyway.

comos:
I love the response of Burna Boy.

omoyele sowore was the main media propagandist for APC when they were fighting to him power in 2015.

Sowore knew the type of man Buhari is but he did the fighting for his own selfish and tribalism interest.

At least he is trying to correct an error. The biggest critics today were the ones who supported a free and fair election. They are not sitting down and watching

Flimsy Excuse
There is none of them that can match Fela

Even when Fela was alive he experienced the same thing Sowore is facing now. A docile populace who would rather criticize him for his lifestyle than focus on the overall good

Why exactly should he??! Why should he be more bothered than the teeming millions of suffering, jobless, hopeless, depressed, and oppressed youths across the nation??!... The very same youths who spend money, time, and energy on mundane nonsense like BBNaija??! The very same morons who contribute millions for ridiculously expensive gifts for pseudo-celebrities??!... What youths are worth sacrificing his status, wealth, career, and peace of mind for??! The same ones who support criminal and useless politicians all because they hail from their states??! The ones who indulge freely in bigotry??!

Please, free Burna abeg!!!... Only a fool will cast pearls before swine!!! I have ceased to pity most Nigerian youths!!!

So people who stream his song, buy tickets to his show and support his art are now swine?


He shouldn't take the posture of a revolutionist nor freedom fighter in his songs when he knows he lacks the balls.


He claims to be African giant whereas he is just Ogbomoso Lucky Dube.

Burna boy just showed how daft and brainless he and his crew are... with all the songs and lyrics of chain, politicians, killings, bondage, Government blah blah blah etc, and then you tweet this as response..

A better response could have been "Thank you for the recognition, but the struggles of Africans needs much more than just me"..

Glad you are not burna boy..he said what he said ..
Deal with it.

olisaEze:


Nope, Burna boy was 6 years old when Fela died in 1997. How old was Sowore then, and did he Sowore also remember what the legendary musician stood for when he was congratulating PMB on his violence rife election win in 2019?

Haba read your write up nah. He was 6 yrs oldehe Fela died. Is it not the same? Did he too not become a fan after Fela's death?

Charmingrascal:
He is claiming to be Fela incarnate
claiming to be the only music revolutionist after Fela but he doesn't want to take the risk Fela took.

Cowardice low budget Fela

Low budget with world recognition , how ur life be?

Burner boi than ran for the police during the Mr 2kay issue. is that who you want to protest? moreover I would do anything for a person like Sowore. the guy is a manipulative selfish clown. I pity those he will convince to protest for him.
Trust no Politician

My guy no run, he dn play mr2kay, what do u expect lol

EastGold:

Big coward. Who asked him to trust politicians? Come and join protest no be to hid behind mic dae make records claiming revolutionary.

I know some clueless youths just like our politicians will agreed to the rubbish Burnaboy just tweeted.,...because they all corrupt like politicians and those musicians who doesn't care if the country is to set on fire as a result of corruption.

Omoyele has proofed himself in so many ways that he's a patriotic citizen that want good development for his country

Burnaboy should try show some too

Ifyz0001:
Burna boy should have simply said he just wants to face his career head-on.

He would have just said he is not mature enough to fight bad policies and politicians in this country.

This response should have just been the best.

I'm not surprised, who will want to bite the fingers that constantly feeds them. You don't expect our small boys (musicians) to support any protest. Unlike the 21yrs old man that successfully carried out a couple in Mali.

Our influencers (musicians) obviously don't know how powerful they are.

he gave a perfect response. sowore campaigned for d same APC.so how can u trust such a person. he is not qualified to lead a protest against APC talk more of calling out Burna boo who has bin criticizing this gov from day1 along with falz d bad guy

/
The hero in Mali didn't disturb public space before rescuing Mali from her oppressor.

Protest in Nigeria is a colossal waste of time. Everyone knows what needs to be done but none has the balls to sacrifice oneself for the goodness of all.

Until then, Sowore, NLC, TUC, etc can continue deceiving themselves. After the one day protest then what?

Please Off the Mic

This guy called burna boy is very wise...

That's a polite insult & a wise reply from a wise guy..


I love it

Well said. Sowore is sending confusing signals and interests. Using ur media to attack innocent who disagree with u is not noble.

Luftwaffe:
Burna Boy also became a Fela fan AFTER he died. #Hypocrite

When did Fela die and how old was Burna Boy when Fela died? Answer that!

His answer is deeper than what you assume. Remember he called Sowore a politician and not activist. Let Sowore choose a side before Burna can join him. But I know that Burna has already made it known that he will not join a politician, which means that he may consider "an activist" "political activist" is a mirage because once they scale through and gain power, they lose their "last name"

Burna Boy, the London-used Fela.

Because he refused to join your lord and saviour in his charade?

Personally I love his reply...

Join those who will do it, u will say he's a politician, then do it yourself, u can't.

The boy was born into Felaism if I might coin that phrase. His grandfather Benson Idonije, who he gave glowing credits to in his first studio album, managed Fela. So he can’t be said to be a mere fan, but a student/protégé of the late icon.
Fela never led a protest, so why is Sowore asking Burna who knows a lot more about Fela than Sowore to do same?

Angelfrost:


Not really!!!... His response reeks of poor upbringing, lack of class or etiquette, and low intellect!!!

Someone addressed you with respect and courtesy, it's just commonsense to accord him the same even while declining his offer.

We should learn to call out the very artistes we like when they err... This doesn't mean we are no longer fans.

That's why they all keep misbehaving and fooling around!!!

I don't see any atom of respect in that tweet but insult.
