This dude is crazily smart...He keeps a tight leech on his circle of fame and wealth, which is a good thing. His mum and sister, holding critical positions in his arts and craft, is an insanely maad move. Keeping the wealth in the family is a great decision.
A tight *leash not leech

Smart dude. I’m a big fan

They made us feel small buh we are the generation of GIANTS.
That was deep.
Stand up Africa. I am so proud that Afro Beats have crossed over. I am here for it. Yessserr 💯🤜🏿💥🤛🏿 much love from "The Town" Oakland California we love you 🇺🇸❤💙🇺🇸❤💙🇺🇸
Burna Boy is amazing. I couldn't believe his Mother is his Manager, that is Black African Love right there. This Teamwork reminds me of when Kanye West was good and also when he also worked with his Mother.
Let's hope everything Burna Boy and his Mother do are Positive and are to Uplift and Push Black Africans forward. I'm really amazed though man. As soon as I heard that Burna Boy's Mother is his Manager, all I could say is "Wow"!
Definitely 💯
Every time I watch Burna and the progress he has made so far, I recall the days he sat in the studio at Rhythm 93.7 FM in Port Harcourt and assisted some OAPs on the afternoon drive.
Burna's career and his dedication are worth all forms of celebration.
Ah you got that right. I use to listen to him on the program. Funny how far he has come
LOVE Burna, Nigerian super hero! Love from Canada🎉
Burna is the best artist in Africa ❤️❤️
The epitome of a consummate artist through and through. "Oluwa" "Odogwu" "King Kong" not enough adjectives to describe the man! BIG UPS from GH
Exactly, I loved Burna boy from that very first hit, Like To Party!
Burna fight for this and he got it now.... Don't know why some are hating on him 😐😔
I had no idea about the family Fela connection. What a legacy!
I love all about Oluwaburna. Family for life ❤
Odugwu you bad, keep up the vibes Burna, you're a sensation in the industry
My favorite guy. Much respect Burna
Such a big Legend and real entertainer ❤️❤️❤️
The mum is very enlighten.Is a bonus to him.

Odogwu you bad! King 👑 Burna Boy, i believe in you. Only you can deliver for us. There's none like you
Burna Is Definitely A Great Performer‼️
I love reggae,hip hop and afrobeat
🙏🏿 🙏🏿 🙏🏿
My big bro for life❤
Burna is a legend
"more memory I aquire more story to tell"
He is so humble and wonderful.
IF Fela Kuti was reincarnated I feel like he split into Burna Boy and Wizkid. They both remind me of him so much. Other Afrikan artist sound really good but they don't FEEL like these 2. Had the pleasure of seeing Burna in the states, It was EPIC!
I have to agree with you
I luv me some Burna ❤❤❤
How could you not Love That Family man Family is Love and Business💙⚜️
Admirable! I love his art, message and work ethic

Burna really a GOAT
I hope my fellow Africans like Ghanaians et al are watching this,because they always feel inferior around Nigerians.All we do is 200% everytime, Nigerians don't joke around at all,we always love to dominate wherever we find ourselves in Life cos its in our DNA.
You won't find them here,too lazy to learn but very energetic in complaining.
Will you stfu? Some of y’all Nigerians are too egotistical and fun your mouth too much. Respect Ghanaians and they’ll respect you
@@ashokadhshd3438 you will find Ghanans view when it’s negative post about Nigeria, and they will like ,but as for Nigerians it’s all love for everyone
@@amandaeguale1641 debatable. If I see a Ghanaian disrespecting a Nigerian, I will speak out against them, but so far I’ve seen Ghanaians show nothing but love towards Nigerians so it’s cool
Factssss
love him
Love you damini
Bruna boy l love your style 😘😘 live for ever 😀😀🤪
An African King 🔥

LEGENDARY
The African Giant
Africa giant for a reason
You see that Ghanaians are not our problem? We're making moves every time to let the world know about afrobeat.
We are not saying is bad but you should know the sound and the genre is from “high-life”you people know very well fela kuti was even an high life artist ,but he copied it and called it Afro beat,when Ghanaians came to Nigeria to work for you ,they were doing all the live bands there and that made fela kuti discovered us,and now see what you people are doing
@@ONiKO1 High life evolved into afro beats. They are very alike and different. Although afrobeat cane from highlife, they are still quite different. So that's why Nigerians can still claim that they made this sound
I like the idea he made his mother his manager. Looks better without hair-locks
@@leeking6939 yeah,but they must remember that they discovered the sound from “high life”but when they go out there they say African music,but they want it all “selfish “which is bad,it should be for the whole Africa at large,when they are performing the perform with their self,but the don’t perform with other countries musicians to prove Africa but not been “selfish”,the whole of Africa supports Nigerian music ,but they don’t support ours,let me tell you something there are some countries in Africa who have plan to band Nigerian music in their countries but they haven’t put it out yet,about 27 countries oo,but they don’t know.
Burna boy ain't Ghanaian
Big Ups 2 Burna Boy 💯🔥🛸

I love his few words. I don’t like men that talks much. Burna is a legend like Fela
Take a shot every time he says do you understand 🤣🤣
Nigeria way of talking 😂😂😂
I don't think he was in South Dakota of USA, because I live here and im well known here when it comes to Africa and afro beat , I love him and im trying to bring him here
