Burna Boy has once again created controversy due to the recent exposure of an interview he participated in. The artist, known as the African Giant, during a discussion with Zane Lowe of Apple Music in New York, expressed his viewpoint that the majority of songs produced in Nigeria lack meaningful content, and that Nigerian artists often focus on shallow subjects in their music.

“There is no substance to it — like, nobody is talking about anything in it. it is just a great time. It’s an amazing time. But at the end of the day, life is not an amazing time. No matter how nice of a time you are having now or you had at some point or you plan to have, you are still going to face life.” There has been a swift and vocal response on social media, with many individuals conveying their dissatisfaction towards Burna Boy for his tendency to create negative perceptions about other Nigerian musical artists, as well as presenting himself as the sole savior of Nigerian music.
