Grammy nominee and African Giant Burna Boy or Oluwaburna as he is sometimes called, threatened to leave Twitter due to the frequent trolling on the platform.
Although 28 year old is now using Instagram to air his opinions, still fans are still dragging him on Twitter. Some have compared him to Afro beat legend Fela, while others have personal reasons for calling him out.
See some reactions below…
Burna Boy has been compared with Fela. Let’s see their activities so far:
Fela- dragged an entire government and celebrities alike without presence of social media
Burna Boy- wore pant on stage, gets dragged by twitter, leaves twitter, subs twitter on ig, delete posts.

What does Burna Boy mean by "keep up the same energy"?
Nigerian government officials are the most slandered entities on this app, steady being called out…so tell me how exactly he wants us to "keep up the same energy"?

Burna Boy, AY and many Nigerian celebs really think if this country goes up in flames, they'll be safe.
They forget entertainment is a luxury people get after they have necessities.
How many South Sudanese musicians are competing for AFRIMAs? Not to talk of Grammys.

Please don’t compare Fela to anybody again.
Not Burna , Not Wizkid, Not Davido. Not anybody.
Fela put himself at the war front against the government. For that reason alone don’t mention anybody in the same sentence as Fela. Thanks

Burna Boy actually sings about bad governance. He’s an artiste, that’s what he can do and he does it. “ You that can drag, focus your dragging on politicians “. That’s basically what he’s saying. But wether we drag from now till tomorrow, Sinzu and spending are sharing funds

Burna boy didn’t say any truth, he said nonsense. We have been calling out politician’s bullshit, we occupied Nigeria, we’ve done numerous protests, so I don’t understand what he saying, if there’s anything we’re missing, lead the frontline or advice
