Grammy Award-winning Nigerian artiste, Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, has dismissed comparisons to the late Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.
Taking to his Instagram story on Monday, the singer expressed frustration with the frequent comparisons drawn between himself and the iconic musician.
The ‘Last Last’ crooner, who urged people to put an end to such comparisons, stated that, unlike Fela, known for his self-sacrificial personality, he would rather kill than die for anyone.
He also emphasised his commitment to promoting positivity, peace, and prosperity.
He said, “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 l’d rather kill you than die for you.”
In another Instagram story, he spoke about the need for more honesty in 2025.
Taking a swipe at unnamed individuals, he said, “If you ever lied about buying Sujimoto’s house in Banana Island when you only rented it, do better in 2025. If you ever lied about Elele’s house being yours, do better in 2025.
“If you have an aftermarket ‘rainbow Daytona,’ please stop telling people it’s real. Do better in 2025.”
“It should be a criminal offence to tell as many lies as certain men. The list can go on and on.”
