Burna Boy says he's not a Nigerian artiste
Legit.ng earlier reported that Burn Boy got Nigerians talking on social media following his comments. The Grammy award winner in a response to a tweet stated that he does not identify as a Nigerian artiste.
Reacting to the bold statement, a follower pointed out despite not identifying as a Nigerian, the Kilometer crooner promotes African culture. He went on to accuse the singer of denying his motherland.
Burna Boy responded to his post, making it known that even though he is from Nigeria and lives in the country, he has never benefitted from her.
