Burna boy once said he didn’t come to music to drop one single and ghost.
I think he’s really manifesting that,imagine having a feature on Beyonce album and now Sam smith.
What ever you do always do you and it’ll speak for you.

If you're excited about Burna Boy collaborating with Sam Smith but you hate gay Nigerians, then you have a problem. It's called hateful hypocrisy. It's not originally your fault, though; society taught you that. So all you need do is open your mind and fix yourself.
