So, a few days ago, the self-proclaimed African Giant, Damini Ogulu also known as Burna Boy, added more proclamation to himself. That time, he called himself the best musician alive after Fela, which of course prompted a debate on social media regarding the merits of the claim or otherwise.
Media personality and former Big Brother Africa winner, Uti Nwachukwu, who is no stranger to controversy himself, had some things to say concerning that. And he seems to be in support of the Anybody singer.
Weighing in on the matter, Uti tweets: “Why do we have a problem with peeps blowing their own trumpet? Why do we call it pride?? If u are used to putting yourself down and not speaking as things are/should be, then stay down!! But DO NOT FOR ANY REASON FORCE ANYONE TO THINK AND ACT AS SMALL AS YOU! Respect @burnaboy!”

Burna Boy’s declaration caused an uproar in the Twitter community as many Nigerians had all sorts of opinions about the singer’s declarations. While some are in support of what he said, others are blatantly against it. Uti is definitely on the side of those who are in support as he released some tweets shunning those who were against the singer.

He continues: “We should actually thank @burnaboy for putting RESPECT on our name internationally!! Especially at times like these where we have very little to brag about as a country! Entertainment has been our saving grace in recent times! PUT SOME RESPECT ON HIS NAME!! HE FREAKING EARNED IT!”

Uti is a popular face in the entertainment industry and he definitely knows what he is talking about when he says entertainment has been our saving grace as a country. He went further to ask Nigerians to put some respect to Burna’s name as the respect is well deserved by the Afrofusion Lord.
Uti Nwachukwu was clearly passionate about the matter as he also took to his Instagram page to address it further. Here is what he says:
“If Burna says he is the Greatest, ask yourself why you are offended for his positive declaration if you’re not a Witch!!!?
“If he says nobody paved The way for him apart from Fela, why would you even question or fault that statement?!! Are you in the entertainment industry ??? Do you What it’s like out here ??? •
“Any small thing pride pride pride !! Forgetting that if his music was s--t or if he wasn’t successful, most of yall wont even pay attention to him in The first place ??? Most of you just want people to blow as long as u are in control or feel responsible for their success???
“FYI He didn’t call no names so he didn’t put anyone down!! And If you have ever said amen in church when pastors pray: “you’d be first amongst your equals! You will be No 1 and always be the first choice “….. and u have a problem with his declaration, THEN YOU ARE A BIG HYPOCRITE!
I repeat! PUT SOME RESPECT ON BURNA’s NAME??”
