Burna Boy’s Unique Style Is The Substance He Provides – BNXN

Popular singer, BNXN has come out to react to the controversy that trailed Burna Boy saying most Afrobeats artists lack substance.

He recently had his say during an Instalive session, and fans have been reacting.

According to Buju, he fully agrees with what the Grammy award-winning singer said during that interview because only few artists are actually unique with their own style in the industry.

BNXN added that not too many Nigerian singers really care about doing music that offer proper substance.

His words, “You see why I connect with Burna is because everything is so different. When I listen to him and I listen to somebody else, you can tell he is doing his own thing. It’s the same thing when you listen to me, except you want to be whining yourself. It is only a few of us that are doing this thing with proper substance and having something to say in it.”

WOW.
