While some Nigerian celebrities have shared their thoughts about it, others have been quiet. However, a concerned social media user went on Elon Musk's X to ask why multi-award-winner Burna Boy has not used his voice and platform to cry out for the youth.
According to him, Burna Boy has chosen to be quiet but would sing about it, as previously done, when the protest is over.
The angry Twitter user said:
"Burnaboy won’t say anything now. He’s waiting for thugs and government-sponsored police to unalive Nigerians so he’ll enter the studio and sing."
"Dem killi killi my people. If you like abus3 your father thinking you’re abusing me. Someone is using your pains to get streams AFTER every Tragic event but won’t speak when the process is on. Last to talk, First to sing. Later him feelings go dey swing like Jangolova."
