Popular Nigerian singer, Burna Boy has been criticized by Nigerians on social media for rejecting a request to join the RevolutionNow protest.

Former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore had invited Burna to join the protest owing to his comparison with Fela Anikulapo Kuti.

However, Burna Boy turned down the offer, stating that Nigerian politicians cannot be trusted.

His comments stirred reactions and backlash from Nigerians on Twitter.

Some Nigerians called out the ‘African giant’ for making songs about bad governance but refused to join the protest.

Here are some of their comments from Twitter:

@Labake_Ajayi “90% of Burna boy’s songs are from Fela, come and protest against bad governance, you’re scared and you claim giant, such an ant you are. You’re forming fake activist on your songs for Grammy, clout chaser.”

@Prsidencymoves “Same Burna that gave Rema fake promise ,you can imagine ordinary come out and join protest now ,to do the real Fela thing ,burna chicken out like a coward.”

@TzOlawale “ Same Burna Boy that called Nigerians Cowards, who can’t stand up against political oppression in a video is the same Burna Boy that is running away from protest.This Fela status is not by Mouth, Enu ose Durella.”

@Nee_dles “ Burna boy will be acting and copying Fela’s style but when it’s time to be Fela he’ll tell you he’s not Fela.”

@Its_Tobiloba “ Burna boy dey follow Sowore drag who be Fela. Truth is none of them is, Burna has never done anything to be compared to Fela other than smoke weed and where pants and Sowore is just doing all this for his selfish interest .. PERIODT!!!

@Dxskii “ Lmao they’ve asked Burna boy to show workings and baba dey stammer.”

@Mafia_10144 “ Odogwu go and join the protest and stop making the mouth on Twitter.”

@Nefertiti “ Sowore called on Burna, Burna replied, “I’m not Fela, leave me out of your schemes.Does that mean Burna is only using Fela ‘bodies of work’ for financial gains only?

“Sowore equally called on Don Jazzy & Rude Boy. Did they answer his clarion call? Why are Nigerian celebs so jittery?

@Igodo “ Burna once said he’s the reason why we are getting international respect. Now, join us and walk the talk, you dey shalaye. Even J. Cole came out to join BLM protest and him no carry activism for head reach Burna.”

@Sir_dami “ So you all believed Burna boy is actually an activist lmfaoo, baba just wanted hit song that’s all!

All these ones saying these trash are cowards that can't even talk to their local government chairman (if they even know who their local government chairman is) talk more of their state governor to demand for a better governance but they rush to Burna boy's timeline

Twitter savages
Burna na audio activist.
Btw, Sowore should leave Burna and call on those that helped him, in campaigning for Bubu in 2015.

Burna boy is "low budget FELA"

I said it in the morning, he is claiming Fela incarnate but he can't take the risk Fela took.

Bro this people no dey try at all,even the ministers too self, anyways let me be calming down.

Most Nigerians are insane, how many protests did fela lead. Most of Fela's complains were done on his song which Burna boy is also doing, Burna boy never claimed to be Fela in the first place, was Burna boy the one that turns blind eye to the corrupt politicians when it comes to election sharing of money, the truth is that Nigerians are not ready for revolution, we are as worse as our politicians, until we change the way we live this country would forever remain a shithole. If Burna boy comes out to protest I know many Nigerians will neglect him and flee, they would laugh at him if the government starts dealing with him. Only a fool would die for people who are not worth it.

"My country problem e pass Jesus, because na we be our own problem" - Burna boy

Happy 60th birthday to the shithole!
