Mr Eazi and Burna Boy to perform at Coachella 2019, Nigerians react

2018 was a good year for singers Mr Eazi and Burna Boy. It was the time when they rose from being shadowy singers to being in the spotlight. However, regardless of their great hits and solid career, many Nigerians have a deep distrust of them, as in, they still were not part of the musicial squad gang loved by Naija people.

But then, towards the end of 2018, all that changed for Burna Boy. Not only did the Ye crooner win the hearts of Nigerians, he also ended up becoming Nigeria's biggest entertainer of the previous year for most people.

Well, 2019 is starting on an even better and more grand note for the singer Burna Boy. But he is not the only one whose star is intent on shining brighter and brighter this year, his colleague Mr. Eazi has also joined in.

Together, these singers are set to perform at one of the world's biggest music festival called Coachella. This worldwide music event is like one of the stages where musicians all over the world dream of performing on, and the fact that singers Mr Eazi and Burna Boy will dance and sing on this platform is a big deal.

However, something more juicy happened after Burna boy discovered that he was enlisted as part of Coachella's performers. He appreciated them but he did not quite appreciate the fact that his name was written in a very small, insignificant way.

Without hesitation, he sent an eye popping message to the Coachella organisers which is very surprising yet assertive.

Performing on stage with the likes of Ariana Grande, Childish Gambino and others is a breakthrough for these singers and Nigerians are really rejoicing with them. Only recently, Mr. Eazi was defaced in the eyes of the public after he cancelled his Trace Live performance. See how he countered the claim of the person that defamed him.
