Burna Boy's UCL performance will exceed expectation - Fan
In a chat with Legit.ng's Olumide Alake, Lynelle, a big fan of Burna Boy based in Belize shared her expectations ahead of the singer's performance at the UCL final come June 10.
According to Lynelle, Burna Boy will exceed expectations and also validate the quality sound of African music.
She said:
"As a person of Afro descent living in the Caribbean, Burna Boy helped me to explore my African identity. Seeing him on one of the biggest stages of the most popular sports in the world for the UEFA not only fills me with pride as a fan but as a black person. Burna serves as a musical and cultural Ambassador not only of Nigerians and Africans but a symbol of black excellence for black people everywhere. The outsiders' band is known for meticulous preparation and high-quality productions on par with the greatest bands of pop culture history. I believe his performance will exceed expectations and further validate the complex and quality sounds of African music - people of all races and backgrounds will find their bodies "gbese" in response!"
