Burna Boy Congratulates Angelique Kidjo Says He Loves Mama Africa

On Sunday night Nigerian Afrobeat singer, Burna Boy lost to Angelique Kidjo at the Grammy’s Award for the Best World Music Album, this pulled a lot of reactions from tweeps saying Burna deserves it, even though Angelique dedicated her award to Burna Boy. After some of the dust had settled Burna took to his social platform to congratulate Angelique Kidjo calling her Mama Africa saying he would love her forever.

After a few hours of no social media activity by Burna Boy – who didn’t even post a picture of himself at the Grammy Awards – he has congratulated Angelique Kidjo on her win. A few hours ago, he took to his Twitter account to express his excitement at Angelique Kidjo‘s win.

He wrote that, “I love you forever @angeliquekidjo and every single person that rooted for me, I don’t take any of it lightly! The world get ready cause we’re all coming! #FOOTONNECK2020.” During a Breakfast Club interview on Power 105.1, New York, Burna Boy said that he personally sought out Angelique Kidjo for his Grammy-nominated album, African Giant.

In the same breath, the self-acclaimed ‘African Giant’ also commiserated with Kobe Bryant‘s family. He wrote, “If I wasn’t doing music I would have played basketball, and it’s all because of Kobe! We’ve lost a legend and our hearts are breaking! Prayers up for his family #ripkobeandgianna.”

During her acceptance speech, Angelique Kidjo also gave Burna Boy a shout-out. In the end, it’s all love, respect, and mutual support. African Giant Burna Boy KOKO TV NG 3Photo Credit: Getty
