Nigerian singer, Burna Boy has opened up on his actual desire concerning crossing over to the American music industry.

In an interview with The Fader, the Afrobeat singer who is fast gaining international recognition, revealed that his actually desire is to cross foreigners over to African music.

”Yeah, I care about crossing over, but like in the opposite way. It’s like I want to come here (US) and cross you over to where I am (Africa). Because where i am is the actual home or the beginning”, Burna Boy said.

Speaking on whether African music is accomplishing giant strides abroad, Burna Boy said, ”It’s being accomplished because now everyone I come across is proud to be African”

When asked if he feels Nigeria is being misunderstood by outsiders, the singer said even insiders misunderstand the country.

”Nigeria is being misunderstood by insiders. I can guarantee you that at least 90% of my age group considered the youth had no clue about the real origins of Nigeria.

”There’s so much truth that need to be known. The only thing that can save the youth is knowledge and financial independence” he said.

African giant.

This guy wan finally sell him soul, I'm sure buyers don line up. I'm sure he's equal to the tax too,since he was able to play axeman/cultism game n played it well for ph, a whole Rivers of blood, despite killing people at a time during his days as an executioner.

Moreover, in selling the soul he should be careful so he doesn't get scammed (oyinbos are the worst/notorious scammers) or even sell the soul for a counterfeit. D'banj will tell him better.

In other news; power is taken n not given, if to say the family of that boy SARS people beat him mumcy alongside him get levels, all the officers on duty that particular day for collect majorly. Dem never even born person wey go born person wey go born the person or group of people wey go try that rubbish with my mumcy. Iswear blood which is obviously theres go flow by any means.

The guy is not only the most talent modern day musician in nigeria but also the smartest. See how he just said he would rather bring Americans to Africa rather than bringing Africa to America, burna boy is truly great. Grammy loading

true talk is bitter

He isn't joining them dear...
He only said he would like to go over there (US) and bring them down to his base (Africa)

Burna is beginning to sound monotonous to me. He's overrated in my opinion.

I think he has what he takes! Go burna

If he does that his music career will just die!

To be honest the guy is the biggest star Africa has right now after wizkid

.

He made his intentions known. Men ain't slaves

Tall order. Wont happen

I love this [i][/i]

Especially his "Dangote" song.

I like how his lyrics still make sense. I honestly thought with fame he’ll put less effort into his songwriting but no, his songs still make as much sense as his hustling days. I’m still not a fan, though.
