As a Nigerian I don't feel like Burna became big all of a sudden, he has been big since 2012 and has stayed at the top since then. I became a fan after his "Run my race" song in 2013. His shows have been selling out in the UK and all over Africa for years.

@comradef2163 4 жыл бұрын

M CH of course you will feel that way. I feel that way too as a Nigerian, but you have to keep in mind that Burna’s audience in 2012 was typically Africans, whether in their respective African nations, or in the U.K./USA. Most were just uni students who were playing his music, along with other African artists. African music as a whole, (not just the Naija/Ghana popular sound) just didn’t have that global audience at the time. Now that we have big name artists doing collaborations and gaining more visibility, more light is being shed unto our African sounds! No be only Afrobeats wey dey for our continent oo na plenty sounds dey 🌍

M Ch I agree burna boy been big since 2011 but people in the states are late to his success. If your Nigerian and you follow what been happening musically on ground you would know he had huge hits like abeg abeg marshals castles remix and like to party
