Mixed reactions have followed recent statement by Grammy award nominee, Damini Ogulu popularly known as Burna Boy who claims he’s the best musical talent out of Africa since Fela Kuti.
Nigerians have since taken to social media to remind him that uneasy lies the head that wears the crown and pride goes before a fall.
Another sect opine that of a surety, the ‘On the low’ singer is the best after Fela.
See some reactions below.
I trolled Burna heavy when he first said “African Giant” but since then he has actually walked the talk & shown his worth.
The “pave way” part of his speech is actually cap but the “I’m the Best” part? He’s earned such bragging rights abeg, let him flex it…fuck faux humility.

Burna Boy is annoying me…. I don’t know why.
Even Post Malone will not say what he is saying.
Before you jump on this tweet, you should know that Post Malone was the most streamed artist in 2018 after drake. And the Most streamed Hip Hop artist in 2019. (Spotify)

We are forgetting how Wizkid didn’t attend the BET because they give awards to artist outside the main event (10 am before the main events at the back stage)
He stood up and things changed, yet Burna Boy is saying rubbish.
Burna Boy, Your father!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where Were you since 2010-2018? I mean where the fuck are you when Afrobeat was struggling to hit the mainstream? The BEST paved the way for you. You came In when the table has already been set and here you’re claiming the BEST since Fela.????
