Nigerian Afrofusion singer and Grammy nominee Burna Boy has declared that no one paved the way for him as a singer.
The singer disclosed that he stopped caring about being the best after Timaya told him that “the world can do without the best”.
When asked where he was when Afrobeat was “crawling” between 2010-2018, Burna Boy affirmed that nobody paved the way for him. He added that Nigerian singers were begging and paying the western world for their songs to be heard before he brought Africans the respect they now have.
His statement has triggered scathing criticisms from Nigerians who believe the statement he made reeks of pride.
A certain fan wrote:” One thing that takes you far in life is, HUMILITY and RESPECT. These musical legends, their only competitor was themselves. They made music that everyone enjoyed with less advancement and recognition. That’s real hustle. Till today, you play their music and it feels fresh. Burna boy, calm down. Sorry, only few of these new artists have that spark, freshness in their music. The music nowadays is very fleeting and artists just want quick money to sustain”.
Another fan wrote:” Your fans paved the way for you by listening and buying your music”.
