Nigerians should thank Burna Boy for bringing respect to Nigeria – Uti Nwachukwu
Burna Boy
Big Brother Africa winner, Uti Nwachukwu has said that Nigerians need to thank Burna Boy for the respect his music gave Nigeria.
This was after Burna Boy was criticized on social media for disregarding the compliments he got from Nigerians after he got a nomination in the 2020 Grammy Awards.
Burna Boy also stated that he's the best musician Nigeria has ever seen since the late Fela Anikulapo Kuti.
Reacting to the whole brouhaha, Uti Nwachukwu took sides with the singer via a social media post.
He wrote: “We should actually thank @burnaboy for putting RESPECT on our name internationally!! Especially at times like these where we have very little to brag about as a country! Entertainment has been our saving grace in recent times! PUT SOME RESPECT ON HIS NAME!! HE FREAKING EARNED IT!”.
"If Burna says he is the Greatest, ask yourself why you are offended for his positive declaration if you’re not a Witch!!!
"If he says nobody paved The way for him apart from Fela, why would you even question, or fault that statement?!! Are you in the entertainment industry ??? Do you What it’s like out here ???
"Any small thing pride pride pride !! Forgetting that if his music was shit or if he wasn’t successful, most of yall won't even pay attention to him in the first place most of you just want people to blow as long as u are in control or feel responsible for their success.
"FYI He didn’t call no names so he didn’t put anyone down!! And If you have ever said amen in church when pastors pray: “you’d be first amongst your equals! You will be No 1 and always be the first choice “..... and u have a problem with his declaration, THEN YOU ARE A BIG HYPOCRITE!
"I repeat! PUT SOME RESPECT ON BURNA’s NAME".
