Shade recently revealed that the singer’s Twice as Tall album was really good and it deserves the award.
According to her, if Buna Boy wins it at last, Nigerians will finally breathe and rest, plus the singer will have something else to look forward to.
She added that “Twice as Tall” is a decent album that defines a Burna Boy that has experienced positive growth.
Her words, “I want Burna Boy to win the Grammys so we can rest .. Oya Oga you’re the best. Frustrate us we are your Nigerians. TBH Twice as Tall is a great album. It’s devoid of tricks. It’s exactly what it’s supposed to be almost a coming of age who Burna is..
“Pls recording Academy let Burna Boy win so we can breathe in Nigeria and he can have something else to look forward to”.
