Nigerian afro-fusion music artiste, Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu aka Burna Boy has finally responded to calls from fans over the massive protest against the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad (FSARS).
Angry Nigerians had earlier called him out for his silence over the issue.
However, a few minutes ago, Burna Boy responded on his official Instagram page.
He wrote; ”It’s been an issue, it’s still an issue. Innocent people being killed and profiled unjustly by our own country people. #EndYouthprofiling #EndPoliceBrutality #EndSARS
In another post, he wrote an open letter to his fans addressing the reason he didn’t respond immediately.
”I have taken the past week to gather my thoughts. I usually respond to these matters with my emotions and my frustrations.
”This time, I have chosen to ignore the attempts; well-meaning or derogatory, to draw me out. This is not and should not be about me.
”It is about a fundamental problem that affects us all as Nigerians, as Africans, as human beings.
