Top Nigerian singer, Burna Boy, has made headlines for the umpteenth time after sampling US music star Jeremih's song.
Burna recently had an interview with Complex where he was asked about one of his new tracks, City Boy, and if it was his idea to sample Jeremih’s 2010 hit song, Birthday Sexx, for it.
The Nigerian star then went ahead to explain how the producer made the beat and he made the song. According to him, he only found out on social media about two days ago that Jeremih’s song was sampled.

He said:
“I only found out that there was a Jeremih sample like 2 days ago because that’s when the thing went viral. I saw it on the internet, It’s from the internet I realised there was a sample. I know Birthday Sexx, Jeremih, I love Jeremih but when I made the song, obviously the producer made the beat and I made the song and I didn’t hear ‘Birthday Sexx’ in it at all but then after the snippet came out and it’s all over the internet and I see people saying ‘Birthday Sexx and stuff’ so I go and check it, I’m trying to figure it out and then I’m like ‘oh okay, I get it’, then I finally get it.”
