In a fiery and candid Instagram Stories post, Grammy-winning Afro-fusion icon Burna Boy, aka “Odogwu,” set social media ablaze by addressing a range of issues, from fabricated claims to the persistent comparisons between him and Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti.
The self-proclaimed “BIG7” pulled no punches, calling out unnamed individuals for allegedly lying about owning luxury properties and flaunting counterfeit luxury watches. In a sharp critique, Burna urged accountability and honesty, saying, “Do better in 2025.”
Burna also addressed ongoing comparisons to Fela Kuti, dismissing the narrative:
“All that Burna Boy and Fela talk needs to die now. I’m not Fela; I’m BIG7. I’m all about positivity, peace, and prosperity, but honestly, I’d rather kill you than die for you.”
In a surprising twist, Burna expressed an interest in participating in a professional interview, specifying that only a seasoned interviewer like Ebuka Obi-Uchendu would meet his standards:
“I no dey for all those podcast/ringlight level abeg. Na only professional for him own profession dey qualified to interview ODG.”
He further hinted at potentially not releasing another album in 2025, solidifying his confidence as a dominant force in the music industry:
“Me wey fit still no drop album again 2025.”
Closing with a powerful statement, Burna reiterated his unmatched status in the game, declaring:
“They can never match up to ME…My president is Black, and my passport is green.”
