“It took with it, its comedy and music. The music has just taken on a life of its own because it does not require a big village that it takes a film to get ready. Music is a lot quicker. Solo work is what is needed, unlike trying to gather an entire ‘village’ to make a film.”
Burna Boy was declared winner of the ‘Best Global Music Album’ category of the Grammy Awards 2021 for his ‘Twice as tall’ album.
