He said these words to an individual who claimed that he (burna boy), always promotes African culture but is still denying his mother land, in his words
“But you dey promote African culture and you Dey deny your own motherland, all na showbiz as usual lmao.”

A lot of tweeps had a lot of opinions about it both contrary and supportive, while a few have opted to the notion that Burna Boy is basically just kidding or ‘catching cruise’. Check out some of their replies in the embedded tweet links below:
To an extent Burna might be right. He’s talking from his experience here, Y’all didn’t even appreciate the boy until his sound went out and started gaining global recognition, got a BET award first before his own country’s award(Headies and the rest) remembered he existed.

Burna is an international artist,a global brand and that does not stop him from being a true Nigerian.
