Burna Boy Opens Up About Personal Struggles Amid Fan Backlash
Nigerian singer Burna Boy is facing a wave of criticism after making comments about his fans, but the Grammy-winning artist says the situation is more complicated than it appears.
The controversy started when he joked about not begging anyone to be his fan and suggested he prefers wealthy supporters.
Many took his words the wrong way, causing an uproar.
Burna Boy later clarified that his comments were misunderstood and insisted he is dealing with private battles.
He said he does not seek sympathy and wants to be left alone while focusing on his own challenges.
The singer also highlighted serious issues in Africa, calling attention to violence and insecurity in Nigeria, Congo, and Sudan.
He used the moment to emphasize the need for peace and freedom in these countries.
I was joking around with my band about something else, not this situation and y’all have spun it as usual saying ‘Burna Boy doesn’t love his fans.’ If you hate me so much either kilI me or leave me alone. I am fighting my own battles and I never come out here to look for pity or help. I love who loves me and respect who respects me. Free Sudan, free Congo, free Nigeria.
