On Friday morning, Burna Boy continued his rant against Coachella following his earlier protest about how small they wrote his name in the flyers.

Burna Boy has described himself as an African Giant fighting for the vision and future of the continent, but this morning he went a step further.

He said, ‘It is a fact that my own country ‘Nigeria’ is home to the largest number of Backward Unprogressive Fools. I will still fight for them because they are not mentally advanced enough to fight forthemselves’.

Nigerians aren’t finding this funny at all, see reactions below.

Okay, Now it’s beginning to seem like Burna boy just wants to trend. Because saying “Nigeria is the home to the largest number of backward unprogressive fools” was a really unnecessary thing for him to have said.

Man this can't be true, @burnaboy referered to Nigeria as a home of 'Backward unprogressive fools'? if this is true, then something has gone terribly wrong. To say this is shocking is an understatement 🙆 https://t.co/a11QqwmWfD

Burna Boy just called some Nigerians backward unprogressive fools & some people are angry, in a country where many people are doing everything for Buhari to be president for another 4 yrs, if that's not a country with many backward unprogressive fools, I don't know what it is.

How dare you call Nigerians “backward unprogressive fools”?@burnaboy Nigerians are the ones pushing your career to the top son. You need to publicly apologize.

You are a thug.
