    I’m African American. I agree with Burna message and purpose he’s carrying out. His music was the first music I introduced my babies to. Keep uniting and inspiring our people worldwide. We are better together than we are alone.🖤

  • @lockvegas05
    Burna Boy is a special artist ! He got that it-factor, and he is giving us great music. Afro Fusion is the future. It's can't be stopped as the music he is producing is too good, and I'm a Black American saying this. I think people should step to the side and allow of this guy to fully flourish. He is literally creating a new genre of music right in front of our faces and we can't appreciate it.
  • When I saw the post on Facebook, I had to rush down to YouTube and watch. This interview is one of a kind. Bless Burna.
