Famous afrobeat musician Burna Boy has warned his fans not to involve him in the ongoing nationwide hunger protest. This comes as Nigerian youths commenced a 10-day protest on August 1 against economic hardship.
As the protests gained momentum, fans took to social media to urge celebrities to lend their voices to the cause. Responding on his X handle, Burna Boy stated that he no longer has the fight in him after the tragic events of the EndSARS protest on October 20, 2020.
Quoting a post from the 2020 protest, he wrote: “The fight in me died on this day. Ogun go doggy anybody wey call my name this time around. Even Jesus was crucified.” The quoted post highlighted a moment during the EndSARS protest when demonstrators refused to play his songs.
