Grammy-winning Nigerian artist Burna Boy has once again stirred discussions by expressing his belief that he faces significant disdain within the Nigerian music industry. In a recent tweet, the renowned singer stated, “Hated by my inferiors for having no superiors,” accompanied by a picture of himself. This assertion is not the first of its kind, as Burna Boy has frequently vocalized his sense of being disliked by fellow Nigerians.
Highlighting his sentiments in his track ‘Thank You,’ featured in his latest album ‘I Told Them,’ Burna Boy suggested that despite his efforts to uplift Nigeria’s reputation globally, he feels underappreciated in his homeland. He expressed disappointment, stating that rather than acknowledging his contributions to the country, rumors circulate about his family ties to Fela Kuti, the late Afrobeat legend. Additionally, he highlighted the speculation surrounding his personal life, insinuating that assumptions about his lack of a baby mama might be due to alleged impotency.
This candid disclosure from Burna Boy sheds light on the complexities of his relationship with his native audience and the industry. His assertions suggest a deep-seated frustration, where he feels undervalued despite his efforts to elevate Nigeria’s cultural presence worldwide.
