Grammy-winning singer Burna Boy has made a bold declaration about the Nigerian music industry, naming the veterans he holds in high esteem. According to the self-proclaimed 'African Giant,' the only legends who have significantly impacted his life and career are 2Baba, Timaya, D’banj, Larry Gaga, and Wande Coal.
Burna Boy made these remarks while responding to veteran producer ID Cabasa’s recent appeal for Nigerian singers to show respect to industry legends. During an Instagram live session with his fans, Burna Boy shared his heartfelt gratitude for these artists who played crucial roles in his journey to stardom.
“The only OGs who have impacted my life; number one, Timaya, because he is the one who showed me that achieving stardom was possible. I’m going to respect him for the rest of my life,” Burna Boy said. He also praised D’banj for his support early in his career, revealing, “D’banj also supported me back then. He paid for the ‘Wan Da Mo’ video. These are two people I don’t joke with.”
Burna Boy emphasized that his respect is reserved for those who stood by him during challenging times, highlighting Larry Gaaga's unwavering support. “People like Larry Gaaga. He stood by me back then. So these are people I will respect for the rest of my life,” he added.
Reflecting on the significance of these veterans, Burna Boy continued, “When you’re talking about OGs, as far as I’m concerned, those names are the only ones in addition to 2Face based on musicality and the fact that he did a feature with me when he didn’t have to back in the days. These are OGs to me. Any other person isn’t an OG to me. ID Cabasa, you can meet Olamide and you can be an OG to him [laughs]. We’ve all been through stuff differently and we all see life differently.”
Burna Boy also acknowledged Wande Coal, reminiscing about their close bond, “I can’t forget Wande Coal, too. At a point in time, we were so close.”
