It’s official, Nigerian Afro-pop singer, Burna Boy is the first to serve a dish of controversy this year following his recent brouhaha over a mere font of his name in an international musical flyer.
The “Ye” crooner continued with his rant against Coachella following his earlier protest about how small they wrote his name in the flyers.
Burna Boy described himself as an African Giant fighting for the vision and future of the continent, but this morning he went a step further, but many Nigerians feel he took a step too far.
In his own words,
‘It is a fact that my own country ‘Nigeria’ is home to the largest number of Backward Unprogressive Fools. I will still fight for them because they are not mentally advanced enough to fight for themselves’.
This has caused a serious stir among Nigerians and they certainly aren’t finding it funny. Most are rather outraged that the singer comes to such despicable conclusion and justifies his stance all because of a mere font.
See some reactions below,
Man this can't be true, @burnaboy referered to Nigeria as a home of 'Backward unprogressive fools'? if this is true, then something has gone terribly wrong. To say this is shocking is an understatement 🙆 https://t.co/a11QqwmWfD

Okay, Now it’s beginning to seem like Burna boy just wants to trend. Because saying “Nigeria is the home to the largest number of backward unprogressive fools” was a really unnecessary thing for him to have said.

Burna Boy just called some Nigerians backward unprogressive fools & some people are angry, in a country where many people are doing everything for Buhari to be president for another 4 yrs, if that's not a country with many backward unprogressive fools, I don't know what it is.

This advanced Daddy showkey a.k.a Burna Boy just called Nigerians "Backward Unprogressive FOOLS" for calling him out over allowing Font size to define him as African Giant.
He is right but the reason behind the branding of Nigerians is extremely wrong and displays his STUPIDITY pic.twitter.com/bMMJXvtRwj

This guy is obviously not himself, he must have been under the influence of some weed. He’ll be kicking himself now that he’s recovered from weedcamia.
I’m not surprised at what burnaboy said cos its obvious he’s among the “backward unprogressive fools”money without sense of reasoning is nothing….. So feel free and rant
