Tell him that you are an architect and want to understand the architectural design of his house, including ze oza room. Afterward, you can use it for your clients.

Sure, I know that he likes having the ladies in that room, so you don't have a problem. grin grin

Lest I forget, you have to pick up the application form from me for 20k only.

Y'all should shut the bleep up and stop shouting "He's immature" "He needs to be humble"... Bla bla bla....

Burna is nobody's mate!. He made it on his own and he doesn't give a bleep about anybody's opinion on his career!.


Y'all keep wailing "He's arrogant" "He'll soon fall" but yet He came back TWICE AS TALL Globally




Try again... You made no sense!

There are no self-made men in this world! Not a damn one! It takes wisdom and maturity to know this universal truth!

This guy is irritating. He used to sing dancehall and it flopped. He did not blow until he started copying Fela's music. These are the facts. So even if he said he did it on his own at least he should give credit to the originator and godfather of Afrobeat, Fela. And if it is talent, he is not even near the likes of Tekno, Brymo or even some of the younger artists coming up. Artists like FemiKuti, 2baba, Dbanj/Psquare etc. paved the way for this fool to shine and now he is talking like mental patient.

The main reason he won in that category is because Angelique Kidjo and Piddy (SeanCombs) campaigned hard for him. Imagine someone like Tekno or KizzDaniel had that kind of support - they would have won multiple grammies. He should also thank his manager, his mother, whose knowledge of the ins and out of the international music scene, pushed his carrier towards grammy inclination.

Nothing special about Burnaboy. I have listened to his two albums and not more than 3 songs are even what I called listenable. Anyway let me enjoy my Flavor playlist. Wetin concern me with mumu music.

Stupid? It’s your perspective, bro.

The truth is that, the journey to the top would be easier if we have people who totally believe in us and support us.

In a system like ours, where “who you know determines your lot ” then, you don’t expect someone who struggled to get things done for himself by himself to have a different narration.

If you’ve ever been rejected several times with no assurance of glimpse of light at the end of the tunnel, perhaps, you’d understand his viewpoint, better.

Amidst rejection and unfavorable atmosphere, it takes faith in God, perseverance, strong willed, doggedness to stay afloat.

I guess he had a very rough beginning, however, he never gave up on himself.

Bless You!

He is actually referring to people like you. Which beginning of his fall; imagine ordinary headies didn't give him any award atleast to buttress is chance of winning grammy since he has been nominated and it's something that will uplift nigeria music as a whole. So he is right when he said he did it alone.

That is where the problem is. He couldn't have done it on his own. Forget his efforts and all. The criticism and rejections was actually what propelled him and he does not need to ascribe all perfection to himself but to God that grants him the grace. The statement credited to him is unnecessary and needless.

The most important belief often come from inside. ...if you are waiting for people Validity which is what prompt many to buy 200 thousands naira phone on credit just to get 500 likes in instagram or Facebook. ... Its never about that . If it was Money Davido should have won that Grammy. Belief in yourself then God will back that belief. Thanks for the inspiration bro.

you didnt do it all by yourself. your achieved success can't take away or deny efforts of past nigerian and african artists like tuface, eedris abdulkarim, tony tetula, dbanj, 9ice, ruggedman, regie rockstone, fela, sunny okosun, raskimono, marvelous benji, daddy showkey, danfo driver, Kennis music, mo hits gang .
this people put in a great work to boost nigerian music to global stage, In winning international awards like channel 0, mobo, mtv base award etc.
congrats bro, but your pride is too much.

There is NOT A SINGLE FELA sample on his Album that won a GRAMMY grin

burna boy didn't win the Grammy only on the account of this singular album remember he was nominated for Grammy previously on the other album and won other international awards in the past, that's not even the point the point is his style of music is heavily influenced by the great fela , and those that came before him, actually put Nigerian music on international recognition making it easy for musicians like him to be recognized quickly , he didn't lay the foundation from scratch

Righteousness2:
Bro Burna what The LORD GOD is interested in is in the Salvation of your Soul ..
That is what will give HIM Joy...
That is what will make HIM Smile..
That is what will give HIM Glory..

Even from a religious perspective,
God is interested in a lot of things, one of it being the soul.
God is also interested in you being fruitful, multiplying and replenishing the earth.

Meaning God is interested in living an impactful and productive life on earth.
Let God worry about Burna's soul you worry about yours.
God hates religious souls just as Jesus hated the Pharisees and the Saducees.

Abeg be quiet! Self made does not mean alone, it means not relying on the sponsorship or finances of others, in the music industry it means not signing your life away to producers/marketers etc. Dude could have blown a long time ago if he signed with Mavin or some hotshot record company but he didn't, dude worked on himself, gave his fans what they wanted and God handled the rest.
