The big man himself, Burna Boy is wilding as it looks like he is going all Kanye on fans and this does not look like it is ending soon.
How did it start? Well, it started with some good news. The good news was that two Nigerian artistes, Burna Boy and Mr Eazi would be performing at the Coachella 2019. But then, it took a turn for the not-so-good after Burna Boy called out coachella via Insta story, complaining about the font his name is written in.
In his words: “@coachella, I really appreciate you. But I don’t appreciate the way my name is written so small in your bill. I am African giant and will not be reduced to whatever that tiny writing means. Fix tings quickly please. @ Coachella”
Well, the same fans that have been hyping him all along, that waited four hours for him to show up for Burna Live, that said he is the best thing since Agege bread, that said he was the biggest African artiste in 2018, the same fans came for him and told him he was getting ahead of himself and believing his own hype.
But then, Burna Boy is not so subtle, is he? He’s not the kind of artiste to take that criticism lying down and so he has gone all crazy against those fans that insulted him, calling them, ‘backward, unprogressive fools’.
“Don’t worry, I know for a fact that my own country, NIGERIA is home to the largest number of backward Unprogressive FOOLS. I will still fight for them because they are not mentally advanced enough to fight for themselves.
They will Forever have my Genuine undying LOVE. To the few proud Young AFRICAN Intellectuals who will not conform to whatever bullshit they are given. you are the Only Hope of AFRICA. God bless you all.”
This does not look like it is ending soon as fans have taken to insulting him and some are even going to extremes of asking for a refund of the tickets they bought to his concert.
What do you think about this whole situation? Do you think Burna Boy is right? Are the fans right to drag him?
