Nigerian singer, Damini Ogulu, widely recognized by his stage name Burna Boy, has stirred reactions with a bold statement about loyalty, declaring that he would rather kill than die for someone.
The Grammy-winning artiste shared his thoughts in a series of comments made on Instagram on Monday, where he touched on themes such as authenticity, integrity, and personal values as the year draws to a close.
Burna Boy, known for his outspoken nature, emphasized his commitment to “positivity, peace, and prosperity” in 2024 and beyond. He further clarified his stance by adding, “Honestly, I’d rather kill you than die for you,” a comment that has sparked significant conversation online.
In addition, the ‘Last Last’ crooner addressed comparisons frequently made between himself and Afrobeat legend Fela Kuti. He firmly distanced himself from such comparisons, stating, “I’m not Fela, I’m BIG7,” highlighting his individuality and unique position in the global music scene.
Furthermore, Burna Boy took the opportunity to call out what he perceives as a rising culture of dishonesty and pretentiousness. Speaking candidly, he addressed unnamed individuals and urged them to do better in the coming year. He said, “If you ever lied about buying Sujimoto’s house in Banana Island when you only rented it, do better in 2025. If you ever lied about Elele’s house being yours, do better in 2025.”
He continued by calling out what he described as deceitful behavior, saying, “If you have an aftermarket ‘rainbow Daytona,’ please stop telling people it’s real. Do better in 2025.”
Burna Boy concluded his statements with a critique of dishonesty, remarking, “It should be a criminal offence to tell as many lies as certain men. The list can go on and on.” His bold declarations have since drawn diverse reactions from fans and critics alike, igniting discussions about honesty and authenticity in social and professional circles.
