rapcy: Have you ever listened to country music? It mostly talk about real life experience. Maybe what you said is true about songs by black artists. Blacks have the same perception everywhere. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNReepITjN0&pp=ygUSaGVhcnQgbGlrZSBhIHRydWNr |

Naijaboy18: I do not hate myself. Truth will always be the truth regardless how much you love yourself more than God love you. Look At black American rappers. The same mumble songs they sing. |

bigadler:all this bloggers are mischievous, burna said what they are dishing out in the name of afro beats lacks substance. Meaning most musicians just dish out thrash. And that's a fact |

Omoluabi16:hate him or like him, that's the truth. Nah why he's fit to win a Grammy. And burna was referring to artists that dish out music with no substance in the name of afro beats, but trust bloggers to twist the whole narrative to drive traffic 1 Like 1 Share |

Armaggedon: Shorrop there - what is the substance in rap music by snoop doggy dogg ? ludacris? coolio ? busta rhymes? and other new ones talking about money and bit….ches .. is that substance ? Burna boy don match line - and he will soon realize no one “can clap with one hand” - what an id iot he is to talk down the brand that brought him fame it’s like Bob Marley saying reggae music lacks substance - or Peter Torch trashing reggae… ? never … I remember Lucky Dube sang “ nobody can stop reggae because reggae strong” … that’s the spirituality and essence of the brand - to spike up the emotions of the fans that indeed reggae in s not just music but something more to the soul this burna boy rant is exactly the mentality that has demystified african uniqueness and spirituality in the global scheme of things … for example, white people stole our artifacts - put it in their museums- crafted stories about them and made hundreds of billions of dollars in tourism revenue from it over a century - BUT what do we as Africans do with our own culture that we should sell to the world ? we call our ancestors demons, we cast and bind them all day by the power of a jewish man called Jesus and we insult the memories of our ancestors all day like they are responsible for our foolishness today where we snatch ballot boxes 🗳 on election day, collect N10,000 (that can’t sustain anyone now for one day) to sell our future for 4 to 8 years, we vote based on tribal or religious sentiments and elect people we sure know have no capacity, character or competence to make our lives better - and on empty stomach and borrowed data, we insult and harass anyone that calls our choices to order, we choose mediocrity over excellence and then we …….. run to the temple of our foreign religion and start praying endlessly for some miracle 😏 What Burna Boy just said about afro beat to the world 🌎 is the main reason why Nigeria will never see the light - the syndrome of knowing what is right to think, say or do.. but choosing the opposite- what a useless man 🤨 4 Likes |

Naijaboy18:Low self esteem over what’s not my business. Are you kidding me! Listen! You don’t know me. I didn’t grow up listening to music. Music, afrobeat, davido all of them were never my thing back in the days. Now I’m grown. I listen to music with good real life lyrics. Not the wumble mumble types you listen to. |

Noneroone: I don't blame the small burna boy. You see, when God just bless your small effort and you are not careful you will conclude that those who work harder with aggressive sweat did not know what they are doing, you may even condemn your elders looking for their mistakes. What is burna boy singing lets ask ourselves. If some street guys sing for you one will understand that being a superstar is not all about what you do but favour from God Dear Burna boy or whatever is your name glorify God for what you achieve and keep quiet 2 Likes |

rapcy: Bolded is quite apt! His arrogant assertion is akin to one using a ladder to get to a higher level, then when you're safely off the ladder you turn around and give it a good kick and watch as those coming up behind you go tumbling to the ground.....so you prevent them from coming up to the level you used the same ladder to reach! I never really liked his music that much any way! |

The truth is We Nigerian are so foolish And very foolish Burna boy is very foolish The same Afrobeat and Afro-song That made him Who he is today Because he has gain some global recognition his talking down on Afro music And you expect the west to rate you ? Once you sell ur country or country’s heritage even ur buyers wouldn’t take u serious Same foolish thing That guy , that was interview on BBC news UK did How he successfully blocked other’s chances of travelling through the same route that took him there We Nigeria talk to much And that’s unnecessary In USA and any other country You hear them sing about rubbish things But they still rate their industry high Guys like , yingyang twin , birdman, and the likes What exactly are they singing The America gangster mostly sing about , guns , cars and women But we still rate them But when it comes to Nigeria You’re looking for substance What substance exactly Personal I listen to music for entertainment and sometimes mood swing If I’m looking for substance I read books and visit YouTube Our guys need to learn how to answer interview questions , they ain’t Matured atall 3 Likes |

Coldie:Keep deceiving yourself there, Burna boy said the fact and y'all know that but won't admit, Afrobeat is filled with mediocre wannabe musicians that sing about sex and women, both Wizkid and Davido are all singing rubbish with trashy songs, infacts Nigerians love musicians with trashy songs more than the good ones. Lastly Burna Boy will never apologize because he isn't wrong and currently all his songs is trending on apple chart occupying 1-15 positions, Burna is here to stay for a very long time. 1 Like 1 Share

gfon: Y'all are failing to say the truth, he really tainted the image of afrobeats and afrobeats artistes. How many American artistses would condemn hiphop despite the trash they're singing.. Don't worry, you don't understand what I'm talking about. Once Afrobeats start getting less rating globally, y'all will realize that the dude is just throwing the ladder away cos he has made money and fame. He is an ignoramus. 1 Like |

Armaggedon: This is lack of education on your part. Music is an art, and as such, it's extremely subjective. It's perfectly OK not to like a particular kind of art, but it doesn't make you any superior than someone that likes it. Some people love abstract art, some people think it's a waste of paint. Likewise, some people like the sound of Afrobeats (even when they don't understand the language) while some don't. None of these people is essentially superior to the other and if you think the kind of art you appreciate places you about others, then you know absolutely nothing about art. 2 Likes |
