It all started after the Nigerian singer, Damini Ogulu, popularly called Burna Boy took to his insta stories, where he slammed the organisers of US music festival, Coachella, for writing his name on the artiste line-up in small print.
He told them that he was an “African Giant” and went on to advise them to make necessary changes.
Burna Boy was on Thursday announced as one half of the pair of Nigerian artistes, that would be performing at this year’s Coachella in the US. Tosin Ajibade, popularly called Mr Eazi will also be performing at the music festival.
While he had shared his excitement about the Coachella performance on his Twitter page earlier on Thursday, his bashing of the organisers got him trending.
Even as most Twitter users felt that he was letting his past successes get to his head, there are others, who felt, he had a right to demand the kind of treatment he deserved.
