Again, Grammy-winning Nigerian Singer Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, has distanced himself from comparisons to the late Afrobeat legend Fela Kuti, saying, “I’m not Fela, I’m BIG7.”
Burna made this known in a series of comments made on Monday via his Instagram handle.
In the post, the self-proclaimed “African Giant” also hammered on authenticity and integrity on social media as the year winds down.
Emphasising that his focus is on “positivity, peace, and prosperity,” Burna added a sharp edge to his message, saying, “Honestly, I’d rather kill you than die for you.”

The Afro-fusion singer also used the opportunity to address what he perceives as a growing culture of dishonesty, calling out unnamed individuals for fabricating details about their lifestyles.
“If you ever lied about buying Sujimoto’s house in Banana Island when you only rented it, do better in 2025.
“If you ever lied about Elele’s house being yours, do better in 2025,” Burna Boy stated.
He continued, “If you have an aftermarket ‘rainbow Daytona,’ please stop telling people it’s real. Do better in 2025.”
“It should be a criminal offence to tell as many lies as certain men. The list can go on and on,” he added.
Burna Boy also hinted at a potential interview with popular Nigerian host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu.
“Ebuka still dey do all those interview? I no like interview at all, but I go like run 1,” he teased.
