Multiple Grammy awards winner, Angelique Kidjo, didn’t hold back her jab at critics of Afro-Fusion musician, Burna Boy, during an interview.
The Beninese musician condemned those criticizing Burna Boy’s unapologetic attitude and others who brand the Nigerian singer as proud.
In a chat with Smooth FM in Lagos state, Angelique stated that people who disapprove of Burna Boy’s behavior should leave him alone and let him be.
She said there’s no crime in the singer standing for his talent and expressing himself as he deems fit. She shared;
“That’s the way to do it (referring to Burna Boy’s attitude), because he knows what he is talking about. When you’re talented, yes, you have to have humility but that doesn’t mean you’re going to walk on yourself and apologise,” she said.
“For what? I’m good at what I do. You don’t like it? Sorry! If it was an African-American person having that attitude, nobody would say anything.
“That’s my boy mehn! Let him do his stuff. If you don’t like it, sorry for you… You leave my boy alone!”
