Award-winning music sensation Burna Boy has stirred up fresh controversy by subtly throwing shade at fellow artists in the Nigerian music industry.
Taking to his Instagram page, the Grammy-winning singer boldly declared that he surpasses all his colleagues in every aspect. He also bragged about his lyrical prowess, writing:
“I get everything pass all of them!!
No cap in my rap.”
His bold statement triggered a wave of reactions online. While some fans stood by him, others criticized his need to constantly compare himself with others.
Here are a few reactions:
-
“You no get pikin, so dem get pass you” – @softjebuboy

“The greatest tragedy in life is for a person to keep running when no one is chasing him or her” – @mrmoraks

This isn’t the first time Burna Boy has made statements that sparked debate.
A few weeks ago, he addressed upcoming artists, warning them not to be misled by social media trends and Twitter polls. He argued that topping Nigerian streaming charts means little if it doesn’t translate to filling up stadiums around the world. He advised them to either aim higher or switch to business.
In 2023, Burna reflected on his journey to wealth, stating that he now earns more than 90% of the people he once admired for their financial success — including politicians and oil moguls.
In another post, he gave unconventional advice to those with enemies, saying the streets no longer operate by old rules. He encouraged people to settle disputes legally in court and take financial compensation, hinting that street justice is outdated.
