Burna Boy: Why I don’t like Twitter users

Burna Boy, the Grammy-award-winning Nigerian singer, has described users of X — formerly Twitter — as “irrational” people. 

In a recent interview with UK-based Kissfresh FM, Burna Boy argued that he thought only Nigerian X users “were just mad” until he visited other parts of the world.

“I do not like people on Twitter. I used to think it was just Nigerians on Twitter that were just mad. Then, I went to Kenya, I saw that it is the same thing. I went to South Africa, I saw it was the same thing,” he said.

“I went to America. Americans have their own group. If you go, you would see all of them tagged. You know how Lil Durk has his OTF? Twitter mad people for America, they have their own. You will see ‘this person something…It’s a worldwide pandemic.”

Born Damini Ogulu, Burna Boy became famous after releasing ‘Like to Party’, the lead single from his debut album ‘L.I.F.E’ (2013).

In 2021, the singer set a record in Nigeria after his fifth album ‘Twice As Tall (2020)’ won the ‘Best World Music Album’ category at the Grammys.

Burna Boy released ‘I Told Them’ on August 25. He enlisted J. Cole and Dave, the rappers, and Seyi Vibez, the Nigerian singer in the the 15-track project.
