“Burna Boy is a better Afrobeat Artist Than Jay-Z” -Tayo Faniran
The actor and reality TV star shared this opinion following the hugely successful outing BurnaBoy had at Madison Square Garden, New York.
“Burna Boy is a better Afrobeat artist than Jay-Z as a rapper they just are so scared to celebrate him as much as he deserves”, he wrote
Tayo Faniran also uploaded a video of a Burna Boy performance he saw in 2019 that had a profound impact on his life.
“29th of August 2019,I was present at this Burnaboys live show in Hollywood Los Angeles,and something changed in my life (part of the major reasons I relocated to Lagos,but that’s a story for another day ),
I started screaming in that hall, I’M A NIGERIAN TOO ✊,but instead of every Nigerian to be shouting Burna! Burna! today,they would rather pretend to be distracted by a fucken Polygamy bullshit story 廊,I shake my head in Portuguese.”
