B-Red recalled, “The first day I met Burna Boy, he was in Port Harcourt, and he was running after Davido’s car. He kept saying, ‘Oh my God, I love you, Davido!'”
The incident highlights Burna Boy’s enthusiastic admiration for Davido and adds an interesting anecdote to their initial meeting.
Davido Calls Burna Boy A New Cat
Following Davido’s recent interview, where he mentioned Burna Boy as an “upcoming artiste,” the statement generated attention.
In the viral clip, Davido discussed his and Wizkid’s contributions to the growth of Afrobeats and expressed his delight in witnessing the success of new artists. He mentioned Burna Boy, along with other talented artists such as Rema, Fireboy, Mayorkun, and Asake, who featured on his album.
Davido acknowledged the impact he and Wizkid had in pushing Afrobeats to global recognition, while also expressing his optimism for the future of the genre. He noted that the emergence of these new talents signifies that the future of Afrobeats is in good hands.
The statement reflects Davido’s appreciation for the rising stars in the industry and his belief in the continued growth and success of Afrobeats as a genre.
Burna Boy Brakes Silence
Burna Boy, seemingly unfazed by Davido’s comment, took to social media to share photos from his immensely successful London concert.
The talented singer achieved a significant milestone by selling out a venue with a capacity of 80,000 attendees. It was an historic moment for Burna Boy and a testament to his growing popularity and fan base.
In a subtly shaded post, Burna Boy expressed that his lifelong dream has always been to bring people from diverse backgrounds together. He emphasized his gratitude for making this dream a reality, particularly during his biggest show to date.
The Grammy-winning artist’s post conveyed a sense of accomplishment and appreciation for the support and love he has received from his fans, as he continues to make a remarkable impact in the music industry.
Nissi, the sister of Burna Boy, appeared to throw shade at Davido for referring to her brother as a “new cat” in the music industry.
In response to Davido’s perceived shade, Nissi, Burna Boy’s sister, took to her Instagram story to express her thoughts. She shared a clip of Burna Boy’s recent performance and threw some subtle shade at Davido.
Nissi sarcastically referred to Burna Boy as the “new cat” mentioned by Davido and acknowledged that her brother is working hard on his journey. In another post, she shared a video of Governor Wike making a statement seemingly directed at his critics, with the caption, “Wike is indirectly saying; As e dey pain Dem e dey sweet us.”
These posts from Nissi suggest that she is defending her brother and indirectly responding to Davido’s comment with a touch of sarcasm and confidence in Burna Boy’s success.
