Grammy Award Winner Burna Boy Says He Is Not A Nigerian Artist...

On Tuesday May 19th, Grammy Award winner, Burna Boy in response to a fan tweet said he does not make money as an artist from Nigeria.








The fan tweeted “ You promote African culture and you dey deny your own motherland, all na showbiz as usual.”

Responding, Burna Boy said: “ I’m from here and I live here because I love my home and my people, e no pass like that.
I don’t make money from Nigeria. Na only cruise dey here.”
Me wey no be Nigerian artist,

His response has generated a lot of response from Nigerians on Twitter but i dont think he meant this in a bad light.

  1. I think Damini has some pride and arrogance but I don’t think he meant this in a bad way. He makes money from YouTube views, Apple Music, Spotify, etc. (and pays taxes to the American government) not shows in Nigeria or anything like that (except governor dash am). As he is, he can work from anywhere in the world and still remain a phenom because his fan base is global like Wizkid, David, Tiwa and co. That’s why they’re so big.
    If they live here, it’s just because they want to. Nothing more. Wetin dey here? After music sef, they make money from crypto and co. So who Nigeria hep?
    Every Nigerian should aim for an international career and I’ll always say it - tech is the new oil money. Find a way to get involved .

  8. One more thing this young handsome legend needs to work on is how to carry himself like the true African giant he is. He musn't reply everything, neither should he be talking or tweeting carelessly, some certain things are better handled when it is ignored. He has gotten to that point in his career where he needs to understand that the world knows who he is and are watching. He needs the attitude and carriage on Genny, Bey and Jayz. That being said, he started making money from Nigeria as an artist before becoming the world wide Burna.
