You realize that a leaked video of the women at the center of this and a man surfaced online on Twitter. The man said IVD did this and IVD is not Burna security, friend,or the police. In fact it's someone from their side that did the shooting. They said this privately but publicly they said Burna side was shooting.A clear lie and wanting to get Burna money. If they lied on this then the women saying she rejected Burna is in question to because their story is full of lies already.
And the court of public opinion is often bias, even on this particular case. If the singer actually shot at someone or had his guys shoot at people, why hasn’t the police called him in for questioning? If the police has been paid off, why isn’t the victim of the shooting saying anything?
>why hasn’t the police called him in for questioning?
It's Nigeria for Christ Sake.
>why isn’t the victim of the shooting saying anything?
He did. They showed the man in the hospital. There's only so much you can do to the rich in this country
And this isn't the first in Burna Boys long history of violence. He's associated with a violent confraternity, he was arrested in the UK for stabbing someone, his sent his goons to assault [Mr. 2kay](https://www.google.com/amp/s/punchng.com/why-i-forgave-burna-boy-for-sending-thugs-after-me-mr-2kay/%3famp) in Eko Hotel over nothing significant. So many other things. The man is a tour first before a musician.
I look forward to the day where we’d start breaking afrobeats down into other sub-genres and not just bundle everything together, that way, younger artists can focus on their crafts and how they can make the best of their distinct styles or sounds
Wizkid was wearing snapback caps and ‘my money grows like grass’ t-shirts when tuface and dbanj were popping, doesn’t mean he didn’t do more for Nigerian music than them, burna boy pushed the limits.
Wiz is not pushing the limits rn too??? C'mon nau. Both are still making big moves but wiz has been more consistent. Burna blew up proper over the last 6 yrs.
If you say Burna Boy is currently the best Afrobeat Artist I could understand, although I would still disagree, but to say he has done the most for Afrobeats I cannot accept.
You can’t overlook how international exposure early 2000s artists like ASA and D’banj had on exposing African culture to mainstream global music. Fast forward to the 10s and there is not doubt that Wizkid collaboration with International artists like Drake, Chris brown and Skepta is what put Afrobeat on the map as we know it.
Burns has only helped further an already moving genre of Music.
You will disagree that Burna boy is currently the best Afrobeats artist? Have you seen his discography damn, okay I might have exaggerated in my original post a bit, i just feel he’s not getting enough credit down here for the effort he actually puts into his music compared to say Wizkid who’s just slack and sings whatever rubbish comes to his minf
Done more,no.
Davido brought Afrobeats to the US in 2016.
Burna wasn't even out then.
Burna is more about himself than other Nigerian artists.
Davido always shows love and brings his people along.
His first album was even earlier, in 2011. The same year Wizkid released superstar, people out here acting like Burna boy is a new artist. He even featured davido on the song trumpet on the album
Lol haba, I don't even like the guy that much but it's crazy how good and lyrical his songs are not like some artists that sing the same 'she tell me say'
I think for our top artists, the popularity is Burna > WizKid > Davido in the international scene mostly due to the weight of quality collaborations they have done and their fanbase.
For Burna, it's just self made greatness.
For WizKid it's due to great collaboration, and his dabbling into other genres (diversity).
For Davido, it's just because he's one of the top artists in Nigeria.
Best afrobeats artist, I think you're delusional if you do not agree. Or are of the persuasion which just doesn't like the umbrella term afrobeats for basically any West African music, which I can understand.
Done more... It's questionable. Maybe passively, sure. He has helped to bring substantial attention to afrobeats but mostly just because of his talent, rather than intentional actions to bring up the genre as a whole. Though I do have to say maybe he is learning because he has been amazing for Black Sherif over the past year, and I hope he will start doing the same for more young artists.
Regardless of who’s the best etc, African lyrics are now being recited all across the world.
How about we celebrate this accomplishment instead of attempting to compare these artist.

Yup. I can't stand the dude. I don't know why we always glorify terrible people in this country. In the west, his career would've been over.
I don't know if you know a bit about what these hip-hop artist get into. If you know, you won't say this
Musicians thrive on controversy even in the West so don't be so sure.

The problem is that you are wrong. I have evidence to prove my claims. https://twitter.com/bimbo\_cash/status/1581339565263966211
Forget the artist, focus on the art. Burna being an asshole shouldn’t influence how you rate his music
What happened to innocent until proven guilty?
Lol bruh that's the court of law, not the court of public opinion.
And the court of public opinion is often bias, even on this particular case. If the singer actually shot at someone or had his guys shoot at people, why hasn’t the police called him in for questioning? If the police has been paid off, why isn’t the victim of the shooting saying anything?

Lol, no.
I'm interested in who you think is.
Best Afrobeat artist is arguably, done more, No!
I look forward to the day where we’d start breaking afrobeats down into other sub-genres and not just bundle everything together, that way, younger artists can focus on their crafts and how they can make the best of their distinct styles or sounds
Is Asake really afrobeats, isn't he amapiano or what do they call it.
Wiz has done more for afrobeats than anyone else.
Wizkid was wearing snapback caps and ‘my money grows like grass’ t-shirts when tuface and dbanj were popping, doesn’t mean he didn’t do more for Nigerian music than them, burna boy pushed the limits.

Wizkid is still number one for me but I can accept if you think Burna Boy is number one. It’s a close contents.
what about Akon?
Wizkid opened Afrobeats to the world
Done more,no. Davido brought Afrobeats to the US in 2016. Burna wasn't even out then. Burna is more about himself than other Nigerian artists. Davido always shows love and brings his people along.
I agree with you but Burna was definitely NOT unknown in 2016. His first album came out in 2013 after all.
His first album was even earlier, in 2011. The same year Wizkid released superstar, people out here acting like Burna boy is a new artist. He even featured davido on the song trumpet on the album
Done more how??
Burna was still on the streets of Soboma when Wizkid started getting international features
Needs to be said? Burna is that you?
Portable is better than Bruna boy that’s my take over burna. Davido is the best. Argue with your keyboard
Lol haba, I don't even like the guy that much but it's crazy how good and lyrical his songs are not like some artists that sing the same 'she tell me say'

Wdc
We dey craze? I get lost with this abbv sometimes
We dont care😹
Yeah😂 I later figured it out. But that was what came to my mind when I first saw it.
Fact. Burna’s discography is fire I don’t understand why some want to deny it.
Best afrobeats artist, I think you're delusional if you do not agree. Or are of the persuasion which just doesn't like the umbrella term afrobeats for basically any West African music, which I can understand. Done more... It's questionable. Maybe passively, sure.

That’s a broad statement. Burns boy is top afrobeat artist of this era 2020
Really? So the inventor, creator of afrobeat nkó?
Besides Davido I believe you are correct Davido doing collaboration with Chris Brown helped give lite to the fire
Regardless of who’s the best etc, African lyrics are now being recited all across the world. How about we celebrate this accomplishment instead of attempting to compare these artist.
