No Artiste! No Artiste in Nigeria makes money from music like Burna does. It’s not rocket science
Streams ? Burna
Bookings? Burna
Personal shows? Burna
Most expensive tickets? BurnaMan literally has everything on Lock. Sadly, Fan base doesn’t give you money

all of a sudden wizkid isn’t “mature” as he and his fans have portrayed & claimed althrough. he needs clout before he drops an album, nothing organic anymore as there’s very less demand for the project.
burna boy pressure is really real and we’re all laughing accordingly.

"I gat love for Burna, I gat Love for David"
Talmabout "More love less ego"
Bro drop the album and stop promoting your album with your fake love.— Love, Damini ❤️ (@anoutsider4L) October 30, 2022
I know wizkid is my Popsy, but don’t ever compare burna to me because I don’t perform under the rain every eke market days and I don’t sign slavery deal
001 for a reason 📌
